Streets built for the camera
The backlot’s streets were built to stand in for places far from Burbank. New York Street dates from 1930, Hennessy Street, first called Tenement Street, from 1937 and Midwest Street from 1939; Laramie Street, built in 1957, became Warner Village in 2004.
Sound stages
The studio had four sound stages when Warner Bros. arrived in 1928, and 35 by 2015. Stage 16, 98 feet high, has a water tank that holds two million gallons.
A working studio
This is a working lot, so the route can change from day to day with production needs, and some areas may be closed. Your guide will tell you where photographs are allowed.
