Hollywood Storage Building 10 images Created 3 Oct 2019
The Hollywood Storage Building was located at 1025 N. Highland Avenue and was built in 1926. The substantial concrete structure was part of Hollywood’s industrial zone, formed in 1919 to provide support services for the motion picture and real estate industries. The impetus for the zone was the increasing tension between the burgeoning motion picture industry and the development of the surrounding area for residential use. Charles E. Toberman, active in both arenas, advocated for the separation. The zone is located close to nearby studio facilities and home to lumber yards, film laboratories, camera repair, prop storage, and other industry related businesses.
Originally known as the Terminal Building, owner Toberman changed the name to the Hollywood Storage Building in July 1926. Later, the building was known as the Bekins Van and Storage building. It is an Historic Cultural Monument designated by the City of Los Angeles.
The 10 photographs in this gallery show the property between 1926 and 1973.
