The Woolworth Building is a historic building located at 6410 W. Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, California. It is named after its former tenant, Woolworth. [1]
The United States Department of the Interior cite Woolworth as being constructed in 1927, [2] while the building's 2001 remodel press-release cites the original construction year as 1910. [1] A photograph of the building's under construction neighbor appears to show the Woolworth Building already constructed in 1911. [3] The 2001 press release also claims that the Woolworth Building is the oldest retail building on Hollywood Boulevard, and that it was the first commercial structure built by pioneering Hollywood developer Charles E. Toberman. [1]
According to the United States Department of the Interior, the Woolworth Building was remodeled in the 1940s, [2] while the 2001 press release cites the remodel year as 1954. [1]
In 1984, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Woolworth listed in the district. However, rather than being a contributing property, Woolworth was listed as a building which did not contribute to the character of the district. [2]
In 2001, CIM Group renovated the Woolworth building again, this time returning it to its original 1910 design. The building was seismically upgraded during this renovation as well. [1]
In 2002, the building was bought for $2.25 million. [4]
The Woolworth Building is a two-story 65-foot by 100-foot commercial utilitarian structure that features simulated block facing, banded aluminum windows, and prominent signage on first floor banding. [2]
During the 1954 renovation, large ceramic tiles were added to the building's facade, and the parapet and door frame were removed. In 2001, these tiles were removed and new pilasters and lintel were added to frame the second floor entrance, same as it was in 1910. Also in 2001, a custom-formulated brick glaze was added to the building, one that matched the 1910 salt glaze that could no longer be produced due to new regulations. [1]
