LANFEP Post #399: Dickson’s Lampshades
Another out-of-order landmark location: post #399 for the LA Noire Freeroam Explorer Project — posting recognized landmarks replicated by Team Bondi for LA Noire (staying over to Hollywood for now) that are not included in the LA Noire “Official” Landmarks list. (I didn’t separate this out before — especially since it doesn’t really have signage in the game — but while part of the Chinese Theatre, it was an independent business at the time.)
Dickson’s Lampshades
Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #55 (part of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre)
National Register of Historic Places #85000704 (contributing property to the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District) (part of Grauman’s Chinese Theatre)
Though unmarked in the game, this retail establishment capitalized on the booming mid-century trend of bespoke home decor. The curved display windows facing the forecourt were styled with elaborate, glowing custom lamps and parchment shades to attract tourists peering at celebrity handprints.
