Charlie Chaplin Studios, La Brea Ave, Los Angeles, circa late 1920s

Charlie Chaplin Studios, La Brea Ave, Los Angeles, circa late 1920sI love that when Charlie Chaplin decided to build his own studio on La Brea Ave that he intentionally designed it to look like a quaint English village. I also love that he thought to film its construction and include it in the first 2 minutes of “How to Make Movies” (1918) (it’s on YouTube – http://bit.ly/2sTCWHM). And I really love that studios have managed to remain intact today and are still a film studio. They are now home to Jim Henson’s Muppets. This photo is circa late 1920s.
