History
[edit | edit source]
Creque Building was originally designed by E. Fossler for J. P. Creque, either in 1910–1911[1] or 1913.[2][3] Two-stories in height, the building was built on the site of the former Sackett Hotel and cost $30,000 ($977,483 in 2024) to construct.[4] Its primary tenant was Hollywood National Bank.[1]
In 1931 or 1934, architect B. B. Horner enlarged the building to four stories and added an Art Deco facade.[1][3]
In 1984, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Creque Building listed as a contributing property in the district. The building's patterned brick and Art Deco facade were specifically mentioned as contributing to the historic nature of the district.[2]
Architecture and design
[edit | edit source]Creque Building features an art deco design and is made of brick, with green and gold tile patterns highlighting the brick pattern. A series of brick piers with slightly recessed and symmetrical placed sash windows create the vertical effect art deco buildings are known for, and the entryway and lobby feature colorful glazed tile.[2]
