How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
The crumbling plaster walls and elephant columns of a giant silent film set, which appears in the cases The Fallen Idol and The Quarter Moon Murders.
The real place
The Babylon set was built for D.W. Griffith's 1916 epic Intolerance near Sunset Boulevard and Hillhurst Avenue, and was left standing for a few years before being demolished. The game moves it into Downtown. Nothing of the original remains, but the courtyard of the Ovation Hollywood shopping centre recreates its great gate and elephant columns.
Visiting
The courtyard is free to visit and looks straight up to the Hollywood Sign. The original site, at Sunset and Hillhurst in Los Feliz, has no trace of it today; the Vista Theatre stands nearby.
