Guess What This Door Used to Be…

Here’s a clue: in the 50s, people lined up here to see the most famous of all television shows.

Give Up? OK, here is the answer: During the first few years of ‘I Love Lucy’, Desilu Productions rented space at General Service Studios, which is now the Hollywood Center Studios, on Santa Monica Boulevard and North Las Palmas Avenue. Desilu used Stage Two which was named Desilu Playhouse, and this is the Artist Entrance at 1040 North Las Palmas Ave.

    I’m guessing this was the audience entrance for where “I Love Lucy” was shot from 1951-53, at what was then General Service Studios, now known as Hollywood Center.
