Grauman's Chinese Theatre  -  Exterior Vestibule

         

 

  Over the years, the exterior details were painted over numerous times in hopes to 'refresh' and aging building. 75 years, things being to alter or downright change in color and appearance. I tried to recreate as accurately as possible the entrance the way it should have looked in 1927. The beautiful door windows had been painted black. I found gold leaf underneath.
     

     

The old photo to the right is from 1933. Notice the sign at base of the doors. It reads 

'Wet Paint'

 in 1933, only 6 years after the theatre opened!
