Hanna Barbera Animation Studios Endangered! The Hanna-Barbera Building at 3400 Cahuenga Boulevard near Universal City Studios, home of the famous cartoon factory, is in critical danger. Opening in 1963 to great fanfare, Hanna-Barbera was designed for Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera by architect Arthur Froehlich, famed for his racetrack designs which include Belmont and Hollywood Park. Hanna-Barbera represents the first self-contained animation production facility ever built. The scalloped and block screen latticework (reflecting an Edward Durrell Stone design) and various panel and beam decorative elements, combine to lend this complex of buildings an ultra-modern and unique appearance that remains timeless.
