Hotel St. Moritz
A 1924, 78 unit, hotel located in Hollywood across the street from the Warner Bros. Studio (before Warner Bros. relocated to Burbank in 1930 and 1931). A pre-1930 advertisement indicates the hotel had 100 rooms ("all with baths").
It was on this rooftop where NABF heavyweight boxer Mike Hunter was shot to death when he pointed a gun at plainclothes Los Angeles Police Department officers (who had set up a drug buy-bust sting operation) on Feb 8, 2006.
While some have claimed that this hotel is a Los Angeles Historic and Cultural Monument it does not, however, appear on the city's list.
Note the chains on the shuttered window in the leftmost gable.
