I was hoping this little building would show up in some vintage aerials.

I love this place, the billboard roof is so wonderfully shameless.
The Story of Hollywood, An Illustrated History by Gregory Paul Williams says the Famous Door was on Vine at Willoughby and gives 1936 as its start date. If the address is 813 or 815 Vine, that puts the club closer to Waring (which isn't far).
I'm confused by
MartinTurnbull's
web page on the Famous Door (
CBD's source), as it shows two different buildings.
