Hollywoodland Realty owner Patricia Carroll inspects her garage after it was crushed by a 170-foot-tall pine that toppled in a windstorm. The tree just missed the distinctive Hansel-and-Gretel realty office, which was built in 1923 as a home sales office by the developer of Hollywoodland. The Hollywood sign was erected to advertise the Hollywoodland subdivision. (Mel Melcon / Los Angeles Times)
