Hollywood Professional Building

This five-story building, designed by architect Richard D. King, was built by Hollywood pioneer developer C.E. Toberman in 1925. In 1928, the final three stories were added to the Gothic-style structure. After moving out of the Roosevelt Hotel, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had offices here from 1930 to 1935; the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) also had their offices in the building from 1939 to 1956, with Ronald Reagan serving as their president from 1947 to 1952. Seminal architect John Lautner also once kept an office here.
