Sigmund Schlager of the Luxor Company proposed that "a committee of stars and producers" could take up the task of collecting money to purchase the old American Mutoscope and Biograph Companystudio at 11 East 14th Street in Manhattan and "maintain it as a memorial to the pioneers of the industry." That would have been neat.
DW Griffith directed his first movies in the brownstone building. In large part because of Griffith's success, Biograph moved to a new, larger location in 1913. The building was torn down in the 1960s.
