In Episode 2.022, Audrey Horne performs an act of civil disobedience by chaining herself to a vault in the Twin Peaks Savings and Loan. Shortly after, Andrew Packard and Pete Martell open a safety deposit box filled with a parting gift from Thomas Eckhardt. In reality, the bank was filmed at two different spots in Los Angeles, California. Here are details about the interior scenes. For the exterior location, check out this Twin Peaks Blog article.
WHERE IS THE INTERIOR OF THE TWIN PEAKS SAVINGS & LOAN LOCATED?
The interior scenes were shot at this building located at 650 South Spring Street in downtown Los Angeles. Hat tip to Scott Prendergast for identifying the spot on Twitter.
The scene opens with an image of a “New Accounts” employee sleeping. I love they included the number “1985” on the drawer behind her (folks haven’t opened an account in a long time).
We get a better look at the area when Loan Manager Dell Mibbler receives a phone call.
Audrey Horne arrives to chain herself to the vault’s gate. She is protesting of the bank’s connections to the Ghostwood development project now being run by Catherine Martell.
As Dell brings Audrey a glass of water, we get a look at the vault door side of the bank.
While the location originally was a bank in the 1920s, it is now a club called The Reserve that opened in 2014.
This map of The Reserve shows the interior scenes were shot on the left side.
Here are some better looks inside the club courtesy of their official website.
Scott also shared with me two photos of famous boxer Muhammad Ali sitting in front of the vault.
INSIDE THE VAULT AT TWIN PEAKS SAVINGS & LOAN
Returning to the episode, Pete Martell and Andrew Packard pass by Audrey Horne on their way to a safety deposit box inside the vault.
Dell Mibbler slowly escorts Andrew and Pete to the safety deposit boxes inside the vault.
Andrew opens the door to safety deposit box 14761.
A hat tip to @smearattack who noticed Andrew was wearing a Black Dots POP Swatch watch from 1988. Note the link no longer works but I’ve left it for reference. It originally had this in the URL: “pwbb103-black-dots.”
Thomas Eckhardt left a bomb inside the box with a note: “Got you, Andrew. Love, Thomas.”
The Reserve turned the safety deposit box room into a bar. I wonder if box 14761 is still on the wall (according to Brad Dukes, author of “Reflections: An Oral History of Twin Peaks,” it was still there in 2010).
