Creque Building
Creque Building, also known as Hollywood Building, is a historic office building at 6400 W. Hollywood Boulevard, on the corner of Hollywood and Cahuenga Boulevard, in Hollywood, California.
History
Creque Building was originally designed by E. Fossler for J. P. Creque, either in 1910–1911 or 1913. Made of brick and two-stories in height, the building was built on the site of the former Sackett Hotel and cost $30,000 ($947,172 in 2023) to construct. Its primary tenant was Hollywood National Bank.
In 1931 or 1934, architect B. B. Homer enlarged the building to four stories and added an Art Deco facade.
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.
