What was on this land prior to the 1950's temple? Was there an earlier Mormon temple? A school? Something else? Just open land?

1937 Sanborn Map; where the Temple building is now (lot 24245) looks like a separate property from the movie studio. Could the house near the lower right corner of lot 24245 have been an old ranch house?
