Born the Grauman’s Metropolitan, it was once the largest movie theater in all of Los Angeles. It had one of the largest balconies ever built. Within 40 years, it would be leveled to make way for a parking lot.

It was the Paramount. It’s location at Sixth and Hill was unmistakable until the very end.

The year was 1960.
