Pickford Center for Motion Picture Study, Motion picture museum in Hollywood, California, United States

The Pickford Center houses over 230,000 film items across three stories in a concrete building with specialized windowless storage rooms and a 286-seat theater.

Built in 1948 as the Don Lee Mutual Broadcasting Building, this structure served as a television studio for CBS and ABC before becoming an Academy facility in 2000.

The center maintains an extensive collection of Academy Award-winning films in Best Picture and Documentary categories, preserving significant works of cinema history.

Located at 1313 Vine Street, the facility contains temperature-controlled storage spaces and a fire suppression system to protect its vast motion picture collection.

This structure stands as the oldest television-specific studio building in Hollywood, featuring Late Moderne architectural elements designed by Claud Beelman.
