And it is also said that Charlie Chaplin Studios, is a motion picture studio built in 1917 by silent film star Charlie Chaplin just south of the southeast corner of La Brea and Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.

Many of Chaplin’s classic films were shot at the studios, including The Kid (1921), The Gold Rush (1925), City Lights (1931), Modern Times (1936), The Great Dictator (1940), Monsieur Verdoux (1947) and Limelight (1952).

One thing I came to know that a block of sidewalk on the studio ground had Charlie Chaplin signed and pressed his footprints into in 1918 for display at his Palm Springs home. Only thing I need to say is don’t destroy the memoirs of Charlie Chaplin in the form of renovation of Taft Building.
