History

Regal Shoes, built in 1939, was designed in the Streamline Moderne style by the architectural firm Walker & Eisen, who were responsible for many of Los Angeles's most notable buildings, including the Fine Arts Building, Hollywood Plaza Hotel, Taft Building, United Artists Theatre, and more. [1] The building has many features common in Streamline Moderne design, including a rounded corner, porthole windows, banded windows, and a Terrazzo entry. [2]

In 1984, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Regal Shoes listed as a contributing property in the district. [2]

Regal Shoes Building was owned by the Church of Scientology as of 2006, [3] and the Sea Org logo is located on the exterior of the building.
