Description
Photograph of an exterior view of the first store built in Hollywood, at the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Cahuenga Avenue, ca.1910. The store, built in 1871 (Zelda Cini dates it, however, ca.1887), has exterior plank walls, a covered patio with railing visible at left on the narrow side of the house, and both a doorway and a window on the wide side shaded by small overhangs. The roof of the building is topped by a grid of wooden framework. Trees are visible in the background, and what appears to be a telephone pole is visible to the extreme right. A sidewalk runs the edge of both of the store's street-side walls.
