History

Hollywood's First National Bank Building in 1927

Hollywood's First National Bank Building, built in 1927 and opened 1928, was designed by Meyer & Holler, the same architectural firm that designed the nearby Chinese and Egyptian theaters.[2][3] Combining art deco and neo-Gothic styles, the building was designed to suggest the sense of fantasy in the area.[4] The building contains 13 stories and is 183 feet in height.[5]

In 1984, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Security Pacific listed as a contributing property in the district.[6][7]

In 1992, the building was sold for $3.3 million ($7.39 million in 2024),[8] and it has been vacant since 2008.[3]

Filming location

Hollywood's First National Bank Building has served as a filming location for several movies and television shows, most notably Adventures of Superman[9] and Twins.[10]
