The Lasky-DeMille production facility was nicknamed "The Barn."
The Hollywood Heritage Museum is housed in the historic Lasky-DeMille Barn, the oldest surviving motion picture studio in Hollywood. This landmark is where Jesse L. Lasky and Cecil B. DeMille, produced the first feature-length film in 1913, leading to the birth of Paramount Pictures

Celebrating "40 Years of the Hollywood Heritage Museum"
Hollywood Heritage opened the Hollywood Studio Museum inside the historic Lasky-DeMille Barn on December 13, 1985. In honor of this anniversary, our new exhibition tells the story of the Barn’s extraordinary journey from Hollywood's agricultural beginnings to its pivotal role in the birth of the film industry.

Hollywood Heritage was in the midst of the Historic Cultural Monument designation process last month for the historic Hollywood Center Motel, whose central structure was a rare 1905 pre-consolidated Hollywood Queen Anne shingle-style home. The building was demolished on January 4, 2026, following a fire. But the story doesn't end here. While the loss of the Hollywood Center Motel's historic structure is deeply felt, it underscores the urgency of preservation efforts across Hollywood. Hollywood Heritage remains committed to advocating for endangered historic resources, supporting stronger protections, and ensuring that stories like this one inform future preservation outcomes. Even in loss, this site reminds us why preservation matters - and why the work must continue.
