  TCL Chinese Theatres

  Sid Grauman was a showman who loved to entertain. He had this theater constructed in 1927. As you can tell, he took his presentation seriously, creating one of Hollywood’s most extravagant buildings. He even went to the lengths of gaining the government’s approval to import Chinese materials to complete the project. Note: The tour is over 2.5 miles long, with more than 84 audio stories, and takes about 2-3 hours to complete. Buy once, use for one year! Ideal for extended visits and return trips over the next 12 months.

The beehive carved above the doors symbolized the bustling “beehive of activity” that would occur once it opened. Doctors, talent agents, and financial firms occupied the top office floors, with the bank on the bottom holding it all up. Business sprung up in

  In 1923, Wilcox’s original church was knocked down to make room for the 150-foot Guaranty Building you see today. It holds the status of being Hollywood’s first high-rise, but it certainly lacks the glamor of its neighbors. That’s because it was constructed as a simple office space. But the folks working here weren’t regular Joes. Charlie Chaplin, Al Jolson, and other actors once had offices in Guaranty!
