Exterior view of Taylor’s Cafe, 6517 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, 1930

Exterior view of Taylor's Cafe, 6517 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, 1930I don’t know much about Taylor’s Café other than it stood at 6517 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood and it was open from roughly late 1920s to the early 1930s. This photo was taken in 1930. That’s quite an elaborate entrance: the detailing along the roof line, the side lamps, circular port hole windows, the zig-zag border, the (I assume) black (granite?) walls, and the white grillwork on the doors. I wish it were still around because I’d love to see what colors that neon tubing lit up at night.

Bill B. says: “It’s likely that the storefront is Vitrolite, a type of structural glass.”

6517 Hollywood Blvd is now occupied by Los Burritos. This image is from May 2024.

    The photo you posted on July 7 of a stretch of buildings along Sunset shows this storefront. It looks exactly the same, except the name had changed to Monica’s Cafe.
