The Taft Building is an historic twelve-story building at 6280 W. Hollywood Blvd. and 1680 North Vine Street, Hollywood and Vine, in Hollywood, California.
==History==
It was built for A.Z. Taft, Jr. (1889-1941), who purchased the Hollywood Memorial Church for US$125,000, tore it down, and commissioned the Taft Building there by hiring architects Percy A. Eisen (1885-1946) and Albert R. Walker (1881-1958).〔Pool, Bob (May 04, 2008) ("Turning the corner at Hollywood and Vine" ) ''Los Angeles Times''〕〔(Pacific Coast Architectural Database )〕〔(History )〕 Construction ended in 1923.〔 The architecture firm Walker and Eisen was also responsible for the Fine Arts Building, the James Oviatt Building, the Hotel Normandie, the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, and the Commercial Exchange Building.〔("Sydell Group Buys Downtown Los Angeles Office Building from 1924" ) (July 18, 2014) Real Estate News Television〕
It is an example of Classical Revival architecture.〔 Shortly after, all the movie studios had an office in the building.〔 Clark Gable's dentist also had an office there.〔 Additionally, Charlie Chaplin and Will Rogers had offices there.〔Miller, Daniel (10/12/2011) ("Hollywood's Historic Taft Building For Sale" ), ''The Hollywood Reporter''〕 It has housed the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.〔
