The Shane Building, also known as the Shane & Regar Store Building or the Hollywood Center, is a historic four-story building at 6650-6654 W. Hollywood Blvd. and 1655 N Cherokee Ave in Hollywood, California.

History

Built in 1930, the Shane Building was designed by Norton & Wallis^[1]^[2] and features an art deco style known as Zigzag Moderne.^[3]

The Shane Building was the original home of the Writers Guild of America^[3]^[4] and the Screen Actors Guild,^[3]^[5] and was once home to the Directors Guild of America^[6] as well.

From August 1977 to January 1978, the building's basement was home to Los Angeles's first punk rock club, The Masque. The club also had a secondary access point from the building's neighboring pornographic theater.^[7]

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

In 2000, the building was bought by Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey to serve as headquarters for their production company World of Wonder.^[6] The purchase price was $15 million.^[8]

Architecture

The Shane Building was built with reinforced concrete^[1] and features an art deco style known as Zigzag Moderne.^[3] Elements of the style prominent in the building include highly stylized gates, elaborate etched glass, verticality through pilasters that extend from the second story to above the parapet, and chevron shaped panels that articulate the top story windows.^[1]
