The Hollywood Post Office, also known as Old Post Office, was a historic building located at 1717 N. Vine Street in Hollywood, California.
Hollywood Post Office was built in 1925 by Morgan, Walls & Clements, the architectural firm responsible for many Los Angeles landmarks, including the Dominguez–Wilshire Building, Adamson House, Chapman Plaza, and the El Capitan, Music Box, Wiltern, Mayan, and Belasco theaters.[1] The building was built of brick and concrete with metal sheathing, and featured an elaborate Churrigueresque facade.[2]
In 1984, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Old Post Office listed in the district. The listing notes that the building was "a prime candidate for restoration," but it was not listed as a contributing property in the district.[2]
In 1988, the building was vacated due to seismic concerns, and it was torn down soon after.[3]
