Pantages: entrance vestibule

6233 Hollywood Blvd.  Los Angeles 90028  | map |

The entrance vestibule is a largely-overlooked very ornately decorated space sandwiched between the entrance doors (on the right) and the main lobby (off to the left). This Mott Studios 1930 view is in the California State Library set # 001407732.



A bit dressier this time with a photo and some flowers added. The 1930 Mott Studios photo is one of fourteen views in the California State Library's set # 001387245.
