BAINE BUILDING

6601-09 Hollywood Blvd.

(Gogerty and Weyl, architects; 1926)

The most elegant Spanish Colonial Revival Building in the district, the building has all the hallmarks of its style: delicate wrought iron balconies, Churrigueresque ornament, stylish tower and detailed window design.

S. H. KRESS DEPARTMENT STORE/FREDERICK'S OF HOLLYWOOD

6606-12 Hollywood Blvd.

(Edward F. Sibbert, architect; 1935)

Designed and built as a part of the S. H. Kress retail chain, this Art Deco structure now houses this internationally known lingerie store.

J. J. NEWBERRY/HOLLYWOOD TOYS

6600-04 Hollywood Blvd.

(Newberry Company architects; 1928)

The retail chain store architects created this colorful example of Art Deco at its best. The "Zig Zag" patterns of chevrons and squares in colorful aqua and gold highlight the oversized industrial windows of the upper stories.

6654 HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD

(Gogerty and Weyl, architects, 1927)

The firm of H. L. Gogerty and Carl Jules Weyl designed the majority of Hollywood Boulevard's flamboyant Spanish Colonial Revival commercial buildings. The fanciful combination of floral motifs and scrollwork known as Churrigueresque ornamentation is still very evident around the second story arched openings.

CONSUMER DRUGS

6542-52 Hollywood Blvd.

(William Fleming, architect; 1928. Homer Rice, renovation architect; 1938)

This corner retail store is a good example of Streamline Moderne styling.

JANES HOUSE

6541 Hollywood Blvd.

(Dennis and Farwell, architects; 1905)

Hollywood Boulevard's last remaining residential structure, the Janes house was built at the turn of the century for Herman and Mary Janes and their daughters. From 1911 until 1926, Misses Carrie, Mabel and Grace operated the Janes School for the children of film industry figures such as Douglas Fairbanks and Cecil B. DeMille. The restored house was moved further back on its site to allow commercial courtyard development.

HILLVIEW APARTMENTS

6531-35 Hollywood Blvd.

(Tifal Brothers, architects; 1917)

Jesse L. Lasky -- a founder of Famous Players-Lasky, one of Hollywood's earliest studios and the forerunner of Paramount Studios -- was a financial backer of this Mediterranean style apartment building to ensure that his actors had a place to live close to the studios. Damage from the Northridge Earthquake and construction of the subway tunnel forced the closure of the building.
