ER's recent post of the Hollywood Lighting Fixture Exterior on Western caused me to revisit that general vicinity as depicted on this forum, including 6 or 7 blocks north on Western where it intersects with Sunset. Briefly mentioned before http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=1596, but at 1401 N. Western (aka 1377 Serrano) was the William Fox Studios. A Food4Less Grocery Store and ColorByDeluxe now occupy that location. It has been hypothesized that Fox was working both sides of Western Avenue for film production to the extent that it utilized space that spread to the west and bordered on the area now occupied by Home Depot.http://wikimapia.org/6542955/William...istorical-site

1918(??)
GSJansen previously posted this photo and GW noted the archivist erroneously described the image as Fox's Original Lot on Western and Washington. http://forum.skyscraperpage.com/show...postcount=1597 My understanding is that Fox started out by leasing space from the Selig-Polyscope lot in Edendale in 1917(?) and that in 1917 Fox acquired the Dixon Studio property at Western and Sunset.
