History
[edit | edit source]Petersen Building, built in 1929, was designed by the architectural firm Meyer & Holler,[1] the same firm responsible for many of Hollywood's most notable landmarks, including Hollywood First National and the Chinese and Egyptian theatres.[3] This building was originally a Cadillac dealership.[1]
In 1984, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with 7001 Hollywood Blvd. listed as a contributing property in the district.[1]
Architecture and design
[edit | edit source]Peterson Building is Art Deco in style and features arched windows, a flat roof, and deco detailing incised in the roof line concrete facade. The United States Department of the Interior describes the building as "a good example of an automobile showroom in an upscale retail setting."[1]
