Kathleen, I would try the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce for starters. Then some of the Television Stations would most likely have something in their archives on the sign.

My grandmother's comment in her journal was: "Father was building houses for a company building in Hollywoodland." Would anyone know how I might be able to find out if the company that my great grandfather was working for in 1923, was in fact M.H. Sherman? Thank you for your kind assistance. Kathleen
