Moving the Charlie Chaplin Studios 15 feet while widening La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles, 1929

Moving the Charlie Chaplin Studios 15 feet while widening La Brea Avenue, Los Angeles, 1929Due to the growth Los Angeles was experiencing in 1929, it was deemed that La Brea Ave needed to be widened. And so the buildings on the east side of the street were picked up and moved back 15 feet. Here we can see the Charlie Chaplin studios at 1416 North La Brea (now the Jim Henson Studios) being relocated. What a job it must have been!
