Gower Street (Los Angeles)

Gower Street marks the western boundary of the Hollywood Forever Cemetery just south of Santa Monica Boulevard.

A farmer from Hawaii named John T. Gower brought in the area's first harvesting equipment and built his home near this street before his death in 1880, a time when Hollywood was an independent city.

Later, this same location was home to the Columbia Drugstore, famous for a soda fountain, frequented by many young movie stars.

The phrase "Gower Gulch" is painted on an actual chuck wagon that sits on the site of the old "Copper Skillet" coffee shop, where the cowboys used to have their breakfast.

They hear Spike Jones and His City Slickers at the movie colony village situated at the northern end of Gower Street in the Hollywood Hills.
