4 Hollywood Landmarks Proposed for Overhauls
Four historic Sunset Boulevard buildings are in line to get massive makeovers as developers continue seeking profits from Hollywood’s residential real estate boom and its shortage of office space, the Los Angeles Times reports. However, preservationists concerned about the possible loss of Hollywood’s historic fabric vow to challenge the developers in court if they try to raze the landmarks. The latest proposal is a residential development on the site of the Nickelodeon Theater, a venue dating to the Great Depression that has hosted fare from Ziegfeld Follies-style dancing girls to 1960s rock concerts to children’s television shows.
