Description
Los Angeles, a city less than 150 years old, has undergone significant transformations in its short history. From the loss of iconic landmarks like cinemas, hotels, and railroad stations to the decline of major industries and film companies, the city's landscape has been shaped by rapid change.
The movie industry, which moved from New York and Chicago, has played a significant role in Los Angeles' transformation. The area around Sunset & Vine was once home to grand art deco studios, while Abbot Kinney's vision of a Venetian suburb was largely filled in after the banks eroded. This unique city has experienced an extraordinary variety of losses, including the Ambassador Hotel, Barker Brothers, and the MGM backlots.
Through its history, Los Angeles has seen the rise and fall of various industries, film lots, hills, airfields, piers, and speedways. The city's citrus groves have given way to oil derricks and housing tracts, while historic buildings like the Temple Block and the Zanja Madre remain as testaments to its complex past.
