Judging from that rather nifty 1937 Packard out front, it’s safe to say that this photo of the Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant is circa late 1930s. It’s what I think of as the prime era of this Brown Derby because all the features we see in other photos are there: the derby-shaped sign, the “Hiram Walker’s Canadian Club” neon, the Satyr bookshop, the Bamboo Room, and the sidewalk awning that stretches all the way to the curb.
