Brothers Roy and Walt Disney both owned homes at the corner of Lyric and St. George during the late 1920s so that they could walk to their first animation studio, located a few blocks away at Hyperion and Griffith Park Blvd.

Opened in 1915 as the Vitagraph Studio, the legendary lot later became the Warner Brothers Studios East Hollywood Annex, then home of the ABC Television Center and local affiliate KABC, finally becoming part of the Disney Corporation in 1996, which owns and operates it to this day.
