The Hollywood-Western building, c. 1928, has been many things through the years; movie mogul Louise B. Mayer’s offices, rehearsal space for Guns and Roses, porn studios. But what it remains is a wacky awesome structure with muscular nudes peering down on passersby. A high school English teacher back in the Bronx offered extra credit if we could accurately count the steps to the Kingsbridge Avenue elevated IRT station. I suppose teachers in LA could similarly have the kids count the cocks on this landmark. It should be noted the building now houses the field office of City Council President Eric Garcetti.
