Name of shopping center that adopted the nickname of the area of Hollywood known as Gower Gulch.
Both sides of Gower Street were lined with small movie studios in the teens, 20s and 30s. Their main output was low budget western fair. The area got it's name from the large numbers of actors dressed in cowboy dress that loitered around the studios hoping to pick up a day's work.
On the east side of Gower, the studios were bought by the Cohn brothers and consolidated as Columbia Pictures. On the west side they were torn down for housing and this small stip center anchored by a Denny's.
