Tom Mix's Mixville-Historical Movie Studio siteIn Edendale (between Glendale Blvd. and Teviot), silent film mega star Tom Mix built a 12 acre shooting set called Mixville. Loaded with western props and furnishings, it has been described as a "complete frontier town, with a dusty street, hitching rails, a saloon, jail, bank, doctor's office, surveyor's office, and the simple frame houses typical of the early Western era." Near the back of the lot an Indian village of lodges was ringed by miniature plaster mountains which on screen were said to be "ferociously convincing." The set also included a simulated desert, large corral and a ranch house with no roof, to facilitate interior shots.
Exact size and dimensions and placement pending verification. Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Mix Category: mix movie studio ---- interesting place
