The Kiowa Trail studio was a room in P's home. Later, his father moved in and after John L died, the home was demolished.

I can't find photos of the studio, but maybe https://www.youtube.com/w...GlbjC43kQk will help? It shows the home (Lake Riley/Purple House/Kiowa Trail) before it was demolished. If anyone wonders why he tore down homes he no longer lived in, maybe this is a good clue?

There's a ton of video footage of The Rev rehearsing in that warehouse.

Is there? I saw once some songs from a 84 rehearsal with WDC, where P was in pajamahs. That's the only one I'm aware of.

Here is perhaps some general historical information regarding the St Louis Park Warehouse property:

The building existed until 2007, according to the above site.

The footage of the rehearsal for the First Avenue 1984 Birthday Show was most likely filmed at the Flying Cloud Drive Warehouse, and not the St Louis Park Warehouse or (in an even more remote chance) the East Lake St 'U-Warehouse' (the latter two of which were used as late as May 1984).

.

I don't believe we have any (inside) footage or known stills from the SLPW. Perhaps scouring some of the more recently leaked/shared associates' uploaded photos might yield a possible interior shot or two.

The Kioea Trail home was a standard bi-level/split entry from the late 1960s/early 1970s., although somewhat larger. The added garages made it look huge.
