In the 1930s Joe Pellkofer, a cabinetmaker, and a team of craftsmen built a tabletop Hollywood with 450 scale buildings on an accurate street grid measuring 11 feet by 12 feet. It is true to life down to the last detail, from the tiny handprints in the sidewalk outside the Chinese Theatre to the beams from the cars’ headlights and taillights, that only emerge under black light.
The model is now housed at the Hollywood Heritage Museum where the painstaking work of cleaning and restoring it is in progress.
