Description
Photograph of of Vine Street at Selma Avenue, showing the Lasky-DeMille barn on the southwest corner, ca.1925. The photo looks south from Hollywood Boulevard. Four lanes of automobiles make their way up and down the unlined street, while still others are visible parked along the sidewalks to the left and the right. Draping trees hang into the frame in the left and right foreground, obscuring the buildings behind them: to the left, a white two-story commercial building can be seen, while behind it, the Lasky-DeMille barn can be seen on the southwest corner of Vine and Selma. It features an eave and three windows in the larger section, while the smaller part of the building is south of it looking towards Sunset Blvd. The barn is now the Hollywood Heritage Museum (California Historical Landmark, No. 554). To the right, a building bears a sign that reads "Real Estate. Insurance. Rentals. Leases". Behind this, a sign reading "Paramount" can be seen, just above a sign for Coca-Cola. Street lamps, utility poles and more trees line the sidewalks by the street. Note: Originally the photograph was captioned as "View of Vine Street at Sunset Boulevard, showing the Famous Players Lasky Studio, ca.1925".
