The Hyperion Bungalow was built in 1935 as the original home of the Disney Publicity and Comic Strip Departments. It was constructed at the Disney Studios on Hyperion Avenue in Hollywood and moved to the Burbank location as part of the construction in 1939-1940. At the Disney Burbank lot, the building housed many support services, including Payroll, Publicity Support, Traffic, and finally the Post Office. The structure is the last remaining example of the California Bungalow type architecture from the Hyperion studio facility, and its style and utility from the company’s early years give it a special place in the history of the Disney lot.
