Crossroads of the World, Historic shopping district in Hollywood, Los Angeles, United States
The complex features a central building shaped like an ocean liner, surrounded by cottage-style bungalows representing different countries of the world.
Built in 1936 by architect Robert V. Derrah, this outdoor shopping center marked a significant advancement in commercial architecture during the Great Depression era.
The property transformed from a retail space into offices for entertainment industry professionals, including musicians, writers, producers, and the Screen Actors Guild.
Current redevelopment plans include the construction of three towers, adding 950 residential units and 190,000 square feet of commercial space to the property.
The central Streamline Moderne structure topped with a rotating globe became a model for outdoor shopping centers across North America.
