The First Hollywood Florida and the Golden Age of Silent Filmmaking by SHAWN C. BEAN

Devastated by fire in 1901, rebuilt in a wide variety of architectural styles, sharing the same geographic and meteorological DNA as southern California, the city was an ideal location for northern film production companies looking to relocate.
