Across the street, was one of Hollywood's most famous, or infamous, hotels -- the Garden of Allah.  In its heyday 'The Garden' was home to, amongst many others; Robert Benchley, Ernest Hemmingway, Gloria Stuart, the Marx brothers, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Sheilah Graham, Dorothy Parker, Errol Flynn, Greta Garbo, and Humphrey Bogart. It was torn down in June 1959. 

Some of the rarest images in the collection are of the hand and footprint ceremonies that were held at Grauman’s Chinese Theater. The first to have their hands and footprints placed in the theater’s forecourt were Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks. Some others include John Travolta,  Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and Marilyn Monroe.  Other rare Hollywood images include the Hollywood Studio Club and the Hollywood Bowl.
