This circa late 1940s photo gives us a pretty good idea of what the front entrance of the Garden of Allah Hotel looked like from the north side of Sunset Blvd. The car in the lower right corner looks like a Studebaker Starlight coupe, which was introduced in 1947, so this photo is probably late 1940s or perhaps early 1950s. In fact, this photo could have been taken at virtually any time because it didn’t change all that much. That bungalow on the right is where the Chase bank building is now. F. Scott Fitzgerald stayed there when he moved to Hollywood in 1937. The “Popcorn & Flickers” blog has a post about Fitzgerald that’s worth reading: https://bit.ly/2JxEbnq
