History:  In the 1940s, the aviator Howard Hughes bought the site and constructed an aircraft plant, runway and hangars. He built his famous Spruce Good at his incorrectly named "Culver City facilities," actually located in the Los Angeles community of Westchester. Over the next 40 years, Hughes Aircraft developed, built and tested many successful aircraft designs on this site. The company continued manufacturing at the site into the 1980s. By the mid-1990s, Hollywood converted the former hangars, including the one that held the Spruce Goose, into sound stages. Scenes from movies such as Titanic and World Trade Center were filmed here.
