Security Trust and Savings, Office building in Hollywood, Los Angeles, US.

Security Trust and Savings is a seven-story office building at Hollywood Boulevard and Cahuenga Boulevard, designed by the father-and-son team John and Donald Parkinson and built in 1921. Its grey terra cotta façade carries classical commercial detailing on the upper floors, and the building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.

Security Savings Bank was founded by Joseph F. Sartori in 1888 as a loan company on Main Street in downtown Los Angeles, and the firm soon renamed itself Security Trust and Savings. In 1904 it moved into the H.W. Hellman Building on Spring Street, and in 1907 into the Security Building on the same street, becoming the largest bank in Los Angeles. Its Hollywood branch drew clients such as Charlie Chaplin, Cecil B. DeMille and Howard Hughes in the 1920s. In 1929 it merged with First National Bank to form Security-First National, with 157 branches and $600 million in assets.

The bank's Hollywood branch drew clients from the film industry in the 1920s, among them Charlie Chaplin, the Three Stooges, Lana Turner, W.C. Fields, Cecil B. DeMille and Howard Hughes. The building's name changed with the institution: Security Trust and Savings became Security-First National after the 1929 merger.

The building is easily visible from the public sidewalk and offers good views for photography from the street. It sits at a busy intersection, making it simple to reach and allowing you to observe the architecture from multiple angles.
