That appears to be taken at the MGM lot in Culver City where Marion was working in the mid-1920s. A 1925 featurette tour of the place runs on TCM every now and then, and there are also shots of the studio exterior in the 1928 Davies-King Vidor classic silent "Show People," arguably Marion's finest work on screen (she was a splendid silent comedic actress and beloved by the film community -- the antithesis of the fictional Susan Alexander Kane).
