Historical Background
The
Hollywood
Park
Turf
Club
opened
to the
public
in
June
1938
. The
original
building
was
designed
by
Los
Angeles
architect
Stiles
O
.
Clements
(1883-1966)
and the
landscape
was
designed
by
Edward
Huntsman-Trout
.
Later
additions
were
made
by
Frederick
Barlow
Jr
. In
1949
, a
fire
destroyed
much
of the
clubhouse
and
grandstand
,
which
were
rebuilt
by
architect
Arthur
Froehlich
, and the
club
reopened
in
1950
. The
Lakeside
Turf
Course
in the
center
of the
outer
race
track
was
opened
in
1967
. A
major
expansion
of the
clubhouse
and
stables
was
made
in
1972
,
doubling
the
size
of the
Turf
Club
. A
20-million
dollar
renovation
and
reconstruction
project
began
in
1991
which
included
adding
a
Garden
Paddock
, a
Player's
Club
and
Study
Hall
, and a
general
refurbishment
of the
existing
buildings
. The
second
part
of the
project
also
added
a
new
Hollywood
Bar
and an
area
for
families
called
North
Park
. A
casino
was
added
in
1994
.
Additional Printed Matter
