Franklin Hills is a neighborhood in Los Angeles, California. It is home to one Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.

History

Franklin Hills is a residential neighborhood, set in the hills east of Los Feliz Village. The Los Angeles Times described it as a "diverse community" with a "collage of architectural styles".[2]

Franklin Hills is home to the Shakespeare Bridge. The ravine over which the bridge crosses was once a perennial stream called Arroyo de la Sacatela. To the east of the bridge is the Franklin Hills public stairway system, which provides pedestrian linkages among the curvy streets, a series of 14 staircases originally built in the 1920s to provide hillside homeowners pedestrian access to the trolley lines below.

Prospect Studios is on Talmadge Street. Opened in 1915 as the Vitagraph Studio, the lot later became the Warner Brothers Studios East Hollywood Annex, then home of the ABC Television Center and local affiliate KABC, finally becoming part of the Walt Disney Company in 1996.

Brothers Roy and Walt Disney both owned homes at the corner of Lyric Avenue and St. George Street [3] during the late 1920s so that they could walk to their new animation studio, located a few blocks away at 2719 Hyperion Avenue [3] (at the intersection of Hyperion and Griffith Park Boulevard).
