Christmas At Hollywood And Vine

As seen in this street scene around Christmas in the early 1950s, the Broadway Hollywood Building (sometimes Broadway Building or Broadway Department Store Building) is situated in the Hollywood Walk of Fame monument area on the southwest corner of the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street.

It was originally built as the B. H. Dyas Building in 1927. The Broadway Hollywood Building is referred to by both its main address of 6300 Hollywood Boulevard and its side address of 1645 Vine Street.

The building housed the Broadway Department Store until 1982, after which building was reconfigured for office use. In 2005, after having been vacant for many years, a renovation began to convert the 10-story building into 96 loft condominiums, while adding two floors to the annex.
