Grand Ave Flatiron - Disney’s Hollywood Studios - Flatirons on Waymarking.com

This building is on Grand Avenue in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It is part of a row of buildings made as scenery to resemble a street in San Francisco or New York City. It is across the street from Muppet Vision 3-D. The bottom floor of the building is set up with display windows to make it look like it houses a music store. In reality, these buildings are not open to the public and there are no attractions inside.

“Grand Avenue was originally planned as a themed area called Muppet Studios, following Disney's acquisition of the Jim Henson Company. In addition to Muppet*Vision 3D, this area was to include a themed restaurant and a Muppet dark ride parody of The Great Movie Ride. The deal fell through after Henson's death, and only Muppet*Vision 3D was developed.

The realized Muppet-themed section became a part of the park's former Streets of America area, which encompassed several attractions, including an urban street amalgamation of New York City and San Francisco. The area's namesake street facades were formerly the park's working backlot set, which was originally a component of the park's inaugural Studio Backlot Tour, and opened to pedestrian park traffic in the mid-1990s; this area closed on April 2, 2016. The Muppet-themed areas and a single remaining block of the Streets of America facades were reincorporated into Muppets Courtyard, which served as a placeholder designation until Grand Avenue was completed in September 2017.”
