The Creque Building was originally designed by E. Fossler for J. P. Creque, either in 1910-1911[1] or 1913.[2] Made of brick and two-stories in height, the building was built on the site of the former Sackett Hotel and cost $30,000 to construct.[3] Its primary tenant was Hollywood National Bank.[1]
In 1931 or 1934, architect B. B. Homer enlarged the building to four stories and added an art deco facade.[1][2]
In 1984, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Creque Building listed as a contributing property in the district. The building's patterned brick and art deco facade were specifically mentioned as contributing to the historic nature of the district.[4]
