The Culver Studios in Culver City has a long history starting with Thomas Ince in the 1910s. Its most well-known feature is the mansion facing Washington Blvd - mostly because David O. Selznick made it part of his Selznick International Pictures logo. This aerial shot from 1925 shows all the filming stages are tucked behind “The Mansion. We can also see how rural it was back then from the neighboring orchard. The lot is currently home to Amazon Studios.

The largest stage on the Sony Pictures Studio lot is Stage 15, built in 1927. With a capacity of more than 42,000 square feet and standing 40 feet tall, Stage 15 is the second largest sound stage in the world. (The James Bond 007 sound stage at Pinewood Studios in England is the largest boasting over 45,000 square feet.) This was where Munchkinland was built.
