Culver City prospered
and grew until World War II, when a moratorium
was declared on building and annexations. Hal Roach
Studios made military training films, with the help
of many noted film professionals like Ronald Reagan
and Alan Ladd. At the end of the war, the Hayden Industrial
Tract was built. Many buildings in the Tract have recently
been renovated by renowned architect, Eric
Owen Moss.
From
1950 through the 1960's, Culver City again enjoyed a
growth spurt in development
and geographic size. The main
boulevards were bustling with cars, new retail
space and businesses were opening, and Helms
Bakeries, established in the 1930's, were still
sending out Helms coaches to sell their goods to local
housewives.
