Photograph of Santa Monica Boulevard looking west from Western Avenue in Hollywood, 1906. A house, at left, is obscured by the heavy foliage of the eucalyptus trees that line the street. A streetcar pole in the center of the unpaved road reads "Cars Stop Here Only". The lot on which the house sits is on the southwest corner and measures 168' x 169'. It was sold in 1902 for $2500 and later leased in 1927 for $3,771,000 for a period of ninety-nine years.
Near Highland Ave.
Photograph of an aerial view of Fox Studios at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Western Avenue, ca.1918. The studios are at center, and the focus of the image is a lot full of movie sets, including one set that resembles a fort. Across the street to the left of this lot is another part of the studios, complete with sound stages. Above the studios are several neatly planted citrus groves. The rest of the neighborhood is residential, composed of both small hoses and larger apartment buildings along tree lined streets.
