Miniature City of Hollywood
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 detailed street scenes of Hollywood with its landmark theaters, churches, billboards, businesses and neighborhoods. Surrounding the entire city is a painted cyclorama mural of the Hollywood Hills and surrounding areas. The miniature measures 125" x 137" in total which consists of 3 panels 125" x 40" ~ 125" x 47" ~ 125" x 50".
