Taft Building, Renaissance revival office building at Hollywood and Vine, Los Angeles, United States
The Taft Building is a 12-story office tower at the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street featuring classical architectural elements and marble decorations. The ground floor contains retail spaces, while upper floors hold about 250 office rooms with large windows overlooking Hollywood Boulevard.
Completed in 1923, the building marked a milestone as the first high-rise office tower in Los Angeles. It was constructed in 65 days on the former site of Hollywood Memorial Church.
The building served as a workplace for film studio employees and entertainment figures like Charlie Chaplin and Will Rogers. It reflects the site's role in Hollywood's early entertainment industry.
The building sits at a busy corner with excellent foot traffic and is easy to reach on foot. The retail area on the ground floor offers straightforward access, and the views from the upper floors are notable for visitors.
A door on Hollywood Boulevard leads to a basement area with significant conversion potential. The space was designed with future uses in mind that have not yet been realized.
