This from a fan of the TV series JAG:
The JAG headquarters in the TV series is actually the American Red Cross Building in Pasadena, CA. I had the opportunity to tour the building -- a mansion built in the 1920s for a local magnate--while attending one of the JAGFanFests held in Van Nuys, CA. While a beautiful building in its own right, it is nothing like the real JAG headquarters which is actually located within the Washington Navy Yard complex.
