Nancy Lehrer > Cranes at Hollywood Boulevard and Argyle
The W Hotel and Residential Project is under construction at the intersection of Hollywood and Argyle. The project, with an estimated price tag of $400 million, is slated to have 375 apartments and 150 condos and is set to open in 2009. Rooftop signs for the Broadway and Taft buildings at Hollywood and Vine can be seen clearly and the Pantages Theatre is directly across the street.

Nancy Lehrer > Music Box Revue Theatre. 6126 Hollywood Boulevard. 1926
The fly at the rear of this movie theatre advertises the 2007 movie There Will Be Blood that was adapted from Upton Sinclair's 1927 novel OIL!  Coincidentally enough, the discovery of oil had a profound impact on the growth of Los Angeles and Hollywood in the 1920s.
Nancy Lehrer > Creque Building. 6400-08 Hollywood Blvd. 1931. B. B. Homer, architect
In 1888, Horace Sackett built a three-story wooden Victorian structure on this site that served as a general store and hotel. It stood at the center of Hollywood's small commercial district. In 1912, it was replaced with a two-story structure, and then enlarged and remodeled in 1931 at the height of Hollywood's prosperity to the four-story Art Deco brick-and-tile structure of today.

Nancy Lehrer > First National Building. 6777 Hollywood Blvd. 1927. Meyer & Holler, architects
Sporting a combination of Gothic and Art Deco styles by the same architects who designed the Chinese Theatre, this structure was the tallest building in the city until the Los Angeles City Hall was built in 1932.

Nancy Lehrer > Grauman's Chinese Theatre. 1927. Raymond Kennedy, architect
Opened in 1927 with thousands of people lining Hollywood Boulevard for the premier of Cecil B. DeMille's King of Kings, the Chinese was Grauman's third theatre. Temple bells, pagodas, and stone Heaven Dogs were imported from China to decorate this grand building. The Chinese Theatre immortalizes movie traditions with its cement handprints and footprints. Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, part owners, placed the first footprints in 1927.
