Sackett Hotel, the first hotel in the area that would later be known as Hollywood, was built by Horace David Sackett and Ellen Sackett in 1888, [1] on land bought from Harvey Henderson Wilcox for $2000. Located on the corner of Prospect Avenue (Hollywood Boulevard today) and Cahuenga Boulevard, the hotel was three stories tall, featured a mansard roof, and was made of wood. [2]
When the hotel opened, its first floor featured a lobby and parlor facing Prospect and a mercantile shop facing Cahuenga, while its second floor featured eighteen rooms and one community bathroom. The building also housed the area's first post office, which was run by the hotel owners' daughter, Mary Sackett. Pepper trees surrounded and provided shade to the property. [2]

Then, in 1910 the building was sold for $28,000 to J.P. Creque, who razed it and built the Creque Building in its place. [1] [2]
