Aerial photo looking north up Ivar Ave across Hollywood during the construction of the Cinerama Dome, 1963In this aerial photo, we’re looking north across Hollywood from roughly the intersection Ivar and De Longpre Avenues. That circular structure in the foreground is the construction site of the Cinerama Dome theater, which was announced in February 1963 and opened in November with the premiere of “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World.” It’s still there, as is the building on the north side of Sunset, which is also under construction. And the black tower at Sunset and Vine St is also still there, albeit with the shiny glass makeover it received a few years ago.

This is a satellite image image of the same area from January 2022:
