Stern-Goodman Street in Fullerton was named for two of the city's earliest settlers: Jacob Stern and Joseph Goodman. Ginny King, who wrote, "The Street Where You Live: Why Did They Name It...?", says the two men had the largest general store in the county.
"And then Stern later got into real estate. And he went to, moved to Los Angeles in 1904. And the Stern barn on his property at Hollywood and Vine was used as a set for the first full length motion picture filmed in Los Angeles – 'The Squaw Man' in 1913."
Stern's barn picked up its own Hollywood name: the Lasky-DeMille Barn. It's named for some of Hollywood's earliest legends: producer Jesse Lasky and director Cecil B. DeMille. The barn still stands. It was acquired by the Hollywood Heritage Museum in the early 1980s. It's right across the street from the Hollywood Bowl.
