Where did Jack Benny live?
Jacks original family house was at 224 South Genessee Street, Waukegan, Illinois over a haberdashery in Waukegan. The building was demolished in 1993, and was a vacant lot as of 1995. He did live in New York while the radio program was done there, but I do not have an exact address. The house that is most associated with him is 1002 North Roxbury, Beverly Hills, California. This home was built for him in 1937 when the program was moving from the New York to Los Angeles studios, and he lived there until 1965. At this time, Mary suggested that the family move to a penthouse apartment in Century City, a few miles south of the Roxbury house. Later they moved to the house at 10231 Charing Cross Road, Los Angeles. Jack lived there until his death in 1974, and Mary until her death in 1983. The Roxbury house is still standing and can be easily seen from the street. The Charing Cross Road house was demolished around 1988, and a new mansion built on the same property; it is gated and is not open
