📸 1929 - Hollywood Bowl, from the air! The site

📸 1929 - Hollywood Bowl, from the air! The site of the Hollywood Bowl was chosen in 1919 by William Reed and his son H. Ellis Reed. They were tasked at finding a site for the outdoor performances by the members of the newly formed Theatre Arts Alliance headed by Christine Wetherill Stevenson. The place they selected was known as as 'Daisy Dell' in Bolton Canyon, previously a popular location for picnicking. The location was selected for its beauty and for its natural acoustics. Lastly the area was ideal due to its proximity to downtown Hollywood looking forward to returning soon, when gathering is safe.

#TheHighTower - Architect Carl Kay. The #tower located at 2178 #HighTowerDrive is a five-story tower housing a private elevator. It was built in the 1920s. The architecture of the tower recalls the Bolognese campanile tower in its design. The tower was designed to allow residents easy access from #Hollywood below to a walking only neighborhood above the canyon. Adjacent to the tower is a #StreamlineModerne apartment building called #HighTower Court, built between 1935 and 1936, also designed by #CarlKay. The High Tower was featured many Hollywood movies. After #ascending the #lift, you arrive to the #AltaLomaTerrace neighborhood, which includes the Otto Bollman House – one of Lloyd Wright's first projects. A spectacular solution to our unique Hollywood hills landscape!
