Samuel Goldwyn Studio

Samuel Goldwyn Studio was the name that Samuel Goldwyn used to refer to the lot located on the corner of Formosa Avenue and Santa Monica Boulevard in West Hollywood, California, as well as the offices and stages that his company, Samuel Goldwyn Productions, rented there during the 1920s and 1930s.

[1] Originally controlled by independent producer Jesse D. Hampton, the site was acquired by Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks and dubbed Pickford–Fairbanks Studios in 1919.

Although Goldwyn did not control the deed for the land, he and Joseph Schenck built many of the facilities on the lot.

Pickford and Goldwyn fought over the name and ownership of the property until a court ordered that the lot be auctioned in 1955.

[5] Warner Bros. sold the property in 1999, and the name was officially changed to its longtime nickname, The Lot at Formosa.
