Taft Building, Renaissance revival office building at Hollywood and Vine, Los Angeles, United States

The Taft Building stands 12 stories tall at the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street, featuring classical architectural elements and marble decorations.

Completed in 1923, this structure marked a milestone as the first high-rise office tower in Los Angeles, taking 65 days to construct at the former site of Hollywood Memorial Church.

The building housed offices for major motion picture studios, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and entertainment figures including Charlie Chaplin and Will Rogers.

The ground floor space accommodates retail establishments, while the upper floors contain 252 office spaces with large windows offering views of Hollywood Boulevard.

A door on Hollywood Boulevard leads to a basement area that maintains the potential for conversion into an underground bar space.
