The Intolerance Babylon set was a recreation of the Gates of Babylon used for the 1916 movie Intolerance, directed by D.W. Griffith. The set-piece gained notoriety after the completion of the motion picture for not being torn down until several years after the movie's release. The set stood at the intersection of Sunset Blvd. and Hollywood Blvd., where the Vista Theatre now stands.
