This church once stood at one of the most famous corners in the world but it was quite unfamiliar to me. This was the Hollywood Memorial Church and it opened at the southwest corner of Hollywood and Vine in 1903. It was there until 1923 when it came down to (I assume) make way for the Hollywood Broadway department store, which opened in 1927. This photo is circa 1905 when Hollywood was still a country town whose industry that made it famous had barely even been invented yet.
