Before they merged with Goldwyn Pictures in 1924 to become Metro-Goldwyn (L.B. Mayer didn’t get his name added until a year later) Metro Pictures had a four-block studio lot in Hollywood at Romaine St. and Cahuenga Blvd, which opened in 1920. Here we have a photo of its main entrance at 6300 Romaine. It’s interesting to see the Metro logo, which looks quite modern, especially in contrast with those classical columns and Grecian urns on the front steps. In 2021, I posted an aerial photo of the Metro studio where you can see this entrance.
These days, that stretch of Romaine is home to a parking structure used, I presume, by the television studio facilities on the other side of the street. This image is from May 2022.
