Though little remembered these days, back in the 1920s through the early 50s, a French village stood at the corner where Highland Ave met Cahuenga Blvd, which put it near the entrance of the Hollywood Bowl. It saw a revolving directory of screenwriters, actors music teachers, and costume designers (including MGM’s Adrian) who had their offices there. You can see clearer pictures on a post of mine from 2014 but in a way I almost prefer this image. There is a ghostly quality to it, much like the dim, fleeting memories of a charming place that fell victim to the Hollywood Freeway. It looks like that’s a 1932 Ford parked out front, so this photo is circa early-to-mid 1930s.
