[QUOTE=Chuckaluck;6285301]Thanks Wig-Wag. I was mostly trying to emphasize the fact that when referring to the pictured storage tanks, some sources use the terms "gas" and "gasoline" interchangeably. I assumed this to be erroneous, but I began to wonder whether there may have been some (unknown-to-me) cross-purpose. Indeed, your last "stylish" link, suggests re-purposing as potential living quarters, which is not exactly what I had in mind.
Did Russell Crowe actually film in a Roman Gasometer, or some 'ol gasometer off of Exposition Blvd? 
Chuckaluck, I found your Russel Crow question intriguing, and since I could not recall seeing any Gasometers in LA since the late 1960's I went back on the net in search of an answer. Wikipedia came to the rescue again!
"In Malta, a replica of about one-third of Rome's Colosseum was built, to a height of 52 feet (15.8 meters), mostly from plaster and plywood (the other two-thirds and remaining height were added digitally).[24] The replica took several months to build and cost an estimated $1 million.[25] The reverse side of the complex supplied a rich assortment of Ancient Roman street furniture, colonnades, gates, statuary, and marketplaces for other filming requirements. The complex was serviced by tented "costume villages" that had changing rooms, storage, armorers, and other facilities.[22] The rest of the Colosseum was created in computer-generated imagery using set-design blueprints and textures referenced from live action, and rendered in three layers to provide lighting flexibility for compositing in Flame and Inferno."
Cheers,
