Silent Movie Set Piece

This is a set piece from silent movies and it was usually used in an indoor sound stage in the background to give the appearance of a building in the far distance, on a hill. It was often seen as just a silhouette and it would usually have lights in the windows. It’s made of cast iron and it is very heavy. It probably weighs 500 pounds. It’s now on display on Santa Monica Blvd, in Hollywood, along with some similar set pieces.
