Discover the birthplace of the film industry and experience the glamour and modernity that Hollywood Boulevard has to offer in this Art Deco Society of Los Angeles walking tour in and around Hollywood Boulevard.Our tour will take you through the neighborhood to see what it was, what it is, and what it will be. By the end of the tour, you'll be able to identify the unique features of Art Deco and Streamline Moderne architecture.
As a microcosm of Los Angeles' post-World War I architectural boom, Hollywood Boulevard is an Art Deco lover's dream with some Streamline Moderne in the mix. Explore famous Hollywood landmarks such as the Kress and Max Factor buildings, as well as hidden gems that may have gone unnoticed. You'll witness palaces of commerce as well as small business owners' dreams come to life. The tour features the Mountain States Life Building/Yucca Tower, our latest Historical Cultural Monument success.
The tour, which was founded in 2011, will begin outside the iconic Pantages Theater and will take you on a journey west on Hollywood Boulevard, exploring stunning exteriors along the way. The tour will conclude near the intersection of Hollywood & Highland.
