Hollywood in Miniature was the brainchild of Joe Pellkofer, owner of a Hollywood Cabinet Company. Originally the project was backed by some Hollywood business men with Leon Bayard de Volo and Dino S. Alessi as supervising directors of the construction. To keep his master craftsmen busy in 1936 slack periods, Joe Pellkofer had them re-create in great detail a Series of Hollywood Miniatures. Pellkofer's Series of Miniatures toured the country from the East Coast to the West Coast to help raise funds for charitable organizations and at one time they were stolen from a location in Oregon and then found in a police station in South Carolina. After many years of being stored in a barn in La Habra the Miniatures went on display for the public to view in a Hollywood location in the 1980's. The Malibu Film Colony Miniature is a very detailed composite of the Seaside Homes of the Stars, how the Colony once appeared in the late 1930's and early 1940's and it also includes the one million dollar Rindge Castle with 54 Rooms which was built by the family who Founded Malibu. Due to storage, the age and the history of the Miniature there is restoration work that does need to be done to make the Malibu Film Colony Come Back to Life, once again. {L 142" x W 79" x H 20"}
