It supported the economic growth of Hollywood through studio payrolls, real estate syndications and film financing. It is also a representative example of the Second Renaissance Revival style by a renowned Los Angeles firm.","narrative":"Rising seven stories on Hollywood Boulevard at Cahuenga, this steel-reinforced masonry building was designed by the Los Angeles firm of John and Donald Parkinson in the Renaissance Revival tradition. Its gray terra cotta exterior carries classical ornament, including twisted columns, arched windows, sculpted lion heads along the roofline and cerulean blue tile beneath the eaves. A dark marble band anchors the base. The site has housed a bank since 1905, and in 1921 Security Trust absorbed the Hollywood National Bank and opened the first downtown bank branch in Hollywood. The institution handled studio payrolls, real estate syndications and financing for motion pictures, and it also provided offices for the entertainment industry and local medical professionals. It was the first high-rise office building completed along the boulevard. Its street-level facade has seen little renovation, though the interior was remodeled several times between the 1940s and 1960s, and a restoration was under way.","period_of_significance":"1900-","architect_builder":"John & Donald Parkinson","architectural_style":"Renaissance Revival (Second Renaissance Revival)","criteria":[],"status_note":"Occupied; interior office floors and lobby were undergoing renovation and signage was being changed at the time of nomination.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:26.958912-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/83001204.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001204/40e3e95645-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/83001204/40e3e95645-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"Los Angeles","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Security_Trust_and_Savings,_Hollywood,_California.JPG\" rel=\"noopener\">Los Angeles</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Security_Trust_and_Savings,_Hollywood,_California.JPG"},"district":{"nrhp_refnum":"85000704","name":"Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District","url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/districts/california/hollywood-boulevard-commercial-and-entertainment-district-85000704/"},"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123859508","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security_Trust_and_Savings_(Hollywood)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14683935"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/los-angeles-county/security-trust-and-savings-83001204/"}
