Sid Grauman was a showman who loved to entertain. He had this theater constructed in 1927. As you can tell, he took his presentation seriously, creating one of Hollywood’s most extravagant buildings. He even went to the lengths of gaining the government’s approval to import Chinese materials to complete the project.
Note: The tour is over 2.5 miles long, with more than 84 audio stories, and takes about 2-3 hours to complete.

Everyone had high hopes for this tower. At that time, Hollywood was booming. The architects included grand buttresses and an “Explorers” motif decorating the siding. The beehive carved above the doors symbolized the bustling “beehive of activity” that would occur once it opened. Doctors, talent agents, and financial firms occupied the top office floors, with the bank on the bottom holding it all up. Business sprung up in

Guaranty Building
5 min
In 1923, Wilcox’s original church was knocked down to make room for the 150-foot Guaranty Building you see today. It holds the status of being Hollywood’s first high-rise, but it certainly lacks the glamor of its neighbors. That’s because it was constructed as a simple office space. But the folks working here weren’t regular Joes. Charlie Chaplin, Al Jolson, and other actors once had offices in Guaranty!

Constructed in 1930, this theatre is titled after the Greek immigrant who dreamed it into reality: Alexander Pantages. It’s a throwback to an age when vaudeville was on the outs and highbrow films enjoyed by the elite were ushered in.

The story of this hotel begins in the early 1900s with Christie, an auto-parts manufacturer in Michigan. Christie ended up selling his successful car-top company to Henry Ford in search of something new. That journey brought him to Los Angeles as a real estate developer.
