CHARLIE CHAPLIN IN FRONT OF CHAPLIN STUDIOS

Located at the corner of La Brea & Sunset, the studio Charlie Chaplin built
 resembles an English village, a series of gray, Colonial clapboard cottages,
 with a Tudor mansion facade, stylized brick chimneys,
 and orderly, green landscaping.

Until 1999, it was the headquarters of A&M Records
which was created by trumpet player Herb Alpert (the "A" in "A&M") and Jerry Moss.

 Recently, the studio was purchased by Jim Henson Productions," In fact, they have added a wonderful statue of Kermit, dressed like Chaplin's "Little Tramp", standing above the main studio gate.
