This aerial shot of the Goldwyn Studios was taken in 1918, the year that Sam Goldwyn bought Triangle Studios on Washington Blvd in Culver City. We can see that it was a significant studio with many filming stages and lots of room on the right-hand side to build a backlot. We can also see that around it was wide-open land, so expansion was not a problem. In 1924, this studio lot became Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. In the bottom left corner was can see the famous Colonnade Building which for a long while was the main entrance to the studio.
