Looking down from the Taft Building across Hollywood Boulevard, showing cars traveling in both directions past the Pantages Theatre (left). Neighboring commercial buildings, some of which have since been demolished, are visible just east of Argyle Avenue (center) and north of Hollywood Boulevard. Architect B. Marcus Priteca designed the 1930 Pantages Theater (6233 Hollywood Boulevard) in the Art Deco style, which is a two-story concrete structure featuring Egyptian lotus patterns on the second story and metal zigzag frames outlining the first story windows. This building became Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 193 in 1978 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a contributor to the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District in 1985.
