To keep everyone happy, I found out there was some noir associated with the studio....
"Tragically, the first celebrity murder also occurred here on October 27, 1911 when Frank Minematsu, the studio caretaker, went berserk and shot and killed director Francis Boggs. In the struggle to retrieve the gun, William Selig was shot and wounded in the arm. Ironically, the day before Boggs’ murder, producers David Horsley and Al Christie made their first film in a little community to the west called Hollywood.[http://allanellenberger.com/tag/garson-studios/

Did you notice the underground pedway in the contemporary GSV of the site?
