The triumvirate of movie director David Llewelyn Wark Griffith (1875-1948), director Mack Sennett (1880-1960) and director Thomas Ince (1882-1924) worked together to compose the Triangle Motion Picture Company in 1915. One of the earliest studio lots in Culver City, it occupied a triangular piece of property. Their Neo-classical, two-story offices were long a landmark in Culver City at 10202 West Washington Boulevard. The Triangle Motion Picture Company's office had a residential quality about it (albeit a mansion-sized residence), a quality other entertainment Colonial/Georgian Revival office buildings--such as the nearby Thomas H. Ince Studios (operating from 1919-1924) and the later MCA Office Building (1940) would have before World War II in the Los Angeles area.
