The Creque Building, also known as the Hollywood Building, is a historic office building at 6400 W. Hollywood Boulevard, on the corner of Hollywood and Cahuenga Boulevard, in Hollywood, California.
The Creque Building was originally designed in 1913 by E. Fossler for J. P. Creque. [1] Made of brick and two-stories in height, the building cost $30,000 to construct. Its primary tenant was Hollywood National Bank. [2]
In 1931, architect B. B. Homer enlarged the building to four stories and added an art deco facade. [1]
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. [3]
