The Brown Derby in Beverly Hills as taken from the Beverly Wilshire Hotel

The Brown Derby in Beverly Hills as taken from the Beverly Wilshire HotelHere we have a shot of the Brown Derby in Beverly Hills as taken from the Beverly Wilshire Hotel. This is the Derby that was busiest on Thursday nights which was the traditional “maid’s night off.” This Brown Derby sat at the corner of Wilshire and Rodeo Drive, so the street we’re looking up is Rodeo. It looks a WHOLE lot more sedate back then, more like just a regular city street, which you’d never say these days.

    Martin, love this shot. Sure wish it still looked this way.

    I love old linen color postcards especially of Hollywood and thereabouts. Aren’t these pretty ones of the BH Brown Derby? Just takes you right back to the 1940s:
