6679 Hollywood Boulevard is an unnamed historic two-story building at 6679 W. Hollywood Boulevard, on the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Las Palmas Avenue, in Hollywood, California.[1]

History

The United States Department of the Interior claim that 6679 Hollywood Boulevard was built by F.L. Paulson in 1914,[1] while the Council of the City of Los Angeles claim the larger building that 6679 Hollywood Boulevard is part of was built in 1925.[2] Built of brick, the building features a simplified Beaux Arts Vernacular style, contains a stringcourse separating the first and second stories, upper story windows grouped in twos and threes, and is capped by a heavy classical cornice supported by scroll brackets.[1]

In 1984, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with 6679 Hollywood Boulevard listed as a contributing property in the district.[1]

In 1998 the building was sold for $2.25 million, and in 2007, it was sold again, for $3 million.[2]
