There's one of those photo folders from a nightclub on eBay right now for a place I don't recall hearing about before:
eBay
Hollywood Casino at 6000 Sunset Blvd. The address is at Gordon St. and the location is adjacent to Sunset Gower Studios. It's a two story building with two modern several story buildings on either side of it.
A nice aerial look at it; note the modern building on the left:

The building opened as a Cashis King market in 1933.

Exterior view of the art deco style open-air Cashis King market located at 6000 Sunset Boulevard (foreground) just east of Gower in Hollywood. Based on the interior signs that are visible, the market carries a variety of produce, dairy products, fruits (both dried and fresh). Near the right side of the image market employees are setting up a produce display. The bus bench on the corner (left) is advertising the Hollywood Carpenter Shop, located at 4640 Prospect Avenue.
From 1942 to 1944 the place had three names, first as Hollywood Casino as the eBay photo folder shows or Madame Zucca's Hollywood Casino as this one is monikered:
The place was said to feature "wild burlesque shows and not-so-legal gambling."
It was renamed Cotton Club in 1943 and The French Casino in 1944 "in attempts to get around new liquor and gaming laws.'
Subsequently the building became these enterprises:
1950: West Coast Productions (radio broadcasting)
1953: Radio Center Theatre
1957: Western Recorders
1960: West Studio
1999: Studio sold and renamed Cello Studios
2005: Cello studios closes down and is sold
2006: Studios begin renovations
2009: Reopens as EastWest Studios
For 60 years the biggest stars in all genres of music have recorded here, as well as music for TV series and movies. It's also had some movie scenes filmed here from "You Light Up My Life" to "La La Land" to last year's "Yesterday."
EastWest has a history section on their website (which is where I got most of this information) and it details the building's history and all the famous people and music that was recorded there. There's also a documentary link to Vimeo of their time there.
