The ADSLA goes "Hollywood" and we want you to come along!

The Art Deco Society of Los Angeles is proud to announce a brand new walking tour of Hollywood Boulevard, where the film industry took root, and flourished, defining glamour, modernity and fun for not just the country, but for the world.

Hollywood Boulevard is a microcosm of one of the great "golden ages" of L.A. architecture the post-World War I boom that from which Art Deco, that forward-looking, sleek and iconic style, emerged. 

On this tour you'll see famous Hollywood and Art Deco masterpieces (The Egyptian Theatre and the Pantages Theatre) as well as unsung beauties that you might have walked by. You'll see palaces of commerce along with pocket-sized examples that housed and continue to house a local businessman's dream. You might think you know Hollywood Boulevard, but we bet we've got some surprises for you!

The tour will begin in front of the Pantages Theatre and end at Hollywood & Highland, and explore neighborhood block by block to see what the area was, what it is and what it will be! Get up close and personal with the tres glamorous Hollywood History Museum (the former Max Factor beauty palace), and, by special arrangement, we'll be taking you inside the Pantages and Egyptian theatres!

This is one tour that you won't want to miss! Be the  FIRST Decophile in your neighborhood to experience Hollywood Boulevard, ADSLA style.
