Looking northeast across Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and Hollywood Blvd from the Roosevelt Hotel, Hollywood, at sunrise, 1951Most photos of Hollywood Blvd are filled with cars and people, hustle and bustle. So this one taken from the roof of the Roosevelt Hotel at sunrise on some quiet morning in 1951 makes for a refreshing change. The parking lot next to Grauman’s was still there, as was the Hollywood Hotel on the other side of Orchid. And the Hollywood First National Bank building looks like it’s nicely it up, too. The theater and the bank building are still with us, so two out of three ain’t bad.

  1. Except the First National has been allowed to become a mausoleum for the last 30 years. Even Johnny Grant couldn’t prevent it.
