Thanks t2...much appreciated. It's great to see a date (1861) of the building I posted earlier this afternoon.
How did you like that 'horse' on top of the building? I thought it was pretty cool.

Apparently, they were very proud of the fact that Fats Waller came to play there.

I've been trying to find the street address of Hollywood's 'Famous Door'.*
(perhaps this was discussed, but I searched the thread & didn't find any specific information in terms of location)

The only info. I found in the directories at lapl was this:

1938 City Directory

George McCullen's (whoever that is.....maybe a manager?) home address at 6146 Eleanor, which is just a few hundred feet off of Vine Street.


6146 Eleanor Ave.

So perhaps the 'Famous Door' was somewhere in this general vicinity.

*I just noticed there are numbers on the Famous Door awning, but they're difficult to read.

Is it 813, 815.....615?
I was hoping this little building would show up in some vintage aerials.
