Well now, this is something I’ve never come across. The Hollywood Hotel at Hollywood and Highland was razed in 1956 and replaced with the couldn’t-be-more-boring First Federal Savings & Loan Association of Hollywood office building. But apparently that wasn’t always the plan. On August 25,1949, the Herald Examiner ran this architectural rendering of the Hollywood Center project which included a new Hollywood Hotel, apartment building, office building and retail section. In this photo, Hollywood Blvd runs at an angle along the right hand side leading toward the white Hollywood First National Bank building, which, amazingly, is still around.
