How great is this? Seriously.
Architect Charles S. Lee, one of the later movie palace architects, designed a building in Hollywood to house the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America. He included bas-relief bands of classical-Greek inspired figures representing various aspects of motion picture production.
They were all nude.
They were also directly facing the windows of the Hays Office, responsible for ensuring "morality" of films.
Lee liked to say he'd introduced "the first porno in Hollywood".

Ironic that it eventually was used to produce porn.
