Old Warner Brothers Studios, Film studio in Hollywood, United States.
Description
Old Warner Brothers Studios is a two-story building complex in Los Angeles constructed with wood and stucco featuring neoclassical elements. The architecture combines columned porticos with symmetrical windows and light-colored walls that preserve the character of early Hollywood.
History
The site was built in 1923 and became the location for a turning point in cinema when a film with synchronized dialogue appeared here in 1927. In the following decades the use changed several times before the grounds returned to production work.
Culture
The complex takes its name from the brothers who worked here during the early years of sound cinema and reshaped narrative storytelling. Visitors today recognize the classical facades with columns and cornices still used for filming.
Practical
The site sits near major roads and allows visitors on guided tours while active filming takes place. Those exploring the area should favor weekdays since weekends see less activity.
Did you know?
Between filming phases the grounds temporarily served as a bowling center with 52 lanes that opened in 1937. This conversion attracted audiences from across the city before the building returned to film production use.
