The barn was at the southeast corner of Selma and Vine Streets. In March 1913 , the Burns and Revier Studio and Laboratory was established in the barn. In December of that year, Cecil B. DeMille , in association with Jesse Lasky , leased the barn and studio facilities for $25.00 a month and began production of '' The Squaw Man '' ( 1914 ). In 1926 , the barn was moved to the back lot of United Studios, where present day Paramount was later built. The Lasky-DeMille Barn was dedicated on December 27 , 1956 , as "Hollywood's First Major Film Company Studio" and designated California State Historic Landmark No. 554, representing the birth of the Hollywood motion picture industry. In October 1979 , the barn was moved off the Paramount lot to a vacant lot in Hollywood. It was then moved by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce to the parking lot of the Palace Theatre , where it was boarded up and fenced in until a permanent site could be found. The Lasky-DeMille Barn was acquired by Hollywood Heritage, Inc., in February 1983 . It was then moved to its present site at the southern end of the parking lot of the Hollywood Bowl , where it was restored and made into the Hollywood Heritage Museum. EXTERNAL LINKS |
