History
[edit | edit source]Hollywood Studio Building was built in 1927 by Henry L. Gogerty and Carl Jules Weyl, the architectural duo also responsible for the nearby Palace Theater, Shane Building, and Baine Building.[1] The building has ground-floor retail and second-story offices, with most of the offices featuring their own fireplaces.[2]
In 1950, Hollywood Toys & Costumes moved into the building, where they would remain until the early 1990s, when they moved one building west.[3]
In 1984, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Hollywood Toys listed as a contributing property in the district.[1]
In March 2022, the building was re-painted to match its original color scheme.[2]
Architecture and design
[edit | edit source]Hollywood Studio Building features Spanish Colonial Revival architecture with a red tile roof and a second story that contains Churrigueresque ornament, Moorish arched windows, ornamented colonnettes between the windows, and, most prominently, a wrought iron east window.[1]
