Blue framing – the Hollywood Center Building - Hollywood Boulevard at Cherokee - the first home of the Screen Actors Guild and of the Writers Guild of America - 1929, by Norton and Wallis - an example of the subset of Art Deco know as Zigzag Moderne –

Framing intense red – workers repainting the Geisha House, formerly the Studio Café, on the opposite corner, as it had faded to pink –

Next door – not pink –

Framing blue –

Framing faces –

Framing palms –
