Fate of The Building
The studio building had fallen to ruin by 2004 at the time the photo was taken and efforts were being made to restore it.

By 2009, the exterior of the building had been restored, with all the buttresses removed, etc., but it was left looking like an abandoned, boarded up warehouse. An almost illegible sign adorned the exterior wall saying, "Thank you, Walt Disney, Inc."
