History
[edit | edit source]
Baine Building was built in 1926 by architecture firm Gogerty & Weyl, the duo also responsible for the nearby Fred C. Thomson Building and Palace Theater. This three-story building was designed in the Spanish Colonial Revival style, with Merchants National Trust and Savings Bank occupying the first two floors and building owner Harry M. Baine's penthouse on the third.[1]
In 1984, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Baine Building listed as a contributing property in the district.[2]
Architecture
[edit | edit source]
The United States Department of the Interior considers Baine Building a prime example of Spanish Colonial Revival. Elements of the style featured include a red tiled roof, smooth facade, wrought iron grillwork and balconies, Churrigueresque ornament, and a corner tower. The building itself is made of reinforced concrete and stucco, with ornamental pilasters, arched windows, deeply inset bulls-eye windows, and an elaborate scallop corner entrance. The second story windows, while appearing stationary, turn on a central pivot.[2][3]
In popular culture
[edit | edit source]The Whitley Building at Disney’s Hollywood Studios was modeled after the Baine Building and named after Whitley Avenue, the cross street the Baine Building is located on.[1][4]
