Thanks Godzilla.




As you can see, there used to be a line of Eucalyptus trees out front. (at least I think they're Eucalyptus)

"The Fred Thomson building – aka the “Court of Olive” (as it was called in 1929) – at 6530 Sunset Boulevard. It was was built by silent western star Fred Thomson and his wife, Frances Marion, around 1928 (the year Thomson died). This is before the Cat and the Fiddle and Travis Banton’s dress shop were situated there. I’m so glad that this building still there (well, mostly) probably because it closely resembles both in architecture and feel the Garden of Allah.
It also reminds me of the Vine Street Brown Derby."

Hmmm. . . maybe the trees are Olive trees since the place used to be named, 'Court of Olives'.



This is interesting even though it's blurry.

"The backdrop of mountains must have been painted in, as the property sits on the south side of Sunset Blvd."

I believe that's a bakery at far right I think the sign said Schaefer's.
