1935 Remodelinq
A fall 1935 remodeling of 6780 greatly reduced the overall building volume. As a result of a Highland Avenue street widening program, the structure height was reduced to one story (approximately 26'-0") which required demolition of the top three floors. The entire Highland Avenue facade was also removed from its granite base and moved 15'-0" east to allow additional space for the street widening. It was during this construction that the exterior walls became reinforced concrete. All existing interior columns were removed and replaced with single span roof trusses (Summerbell) and an ornamental ceiling installed. Approximately $40,000 was spent by the owners for the reconstruction with an additional $20,000 spent by Bank of America for interior changes and modern bank fixtures. The bank occupied the entire new building with the exception of a small storeroom built at the rear of the structure facing Highland Avenue. Existing safe deposit box facilities in the basement were moved to the ground floor, although the bank vaults remained in the basement (according to newspaper accounts). However, the permit for new work lists the installation and building of a new vault; its location was not noted. It was noted that business continued without interruption, despite the size of work. Upon completion, the structure dimensions were lis 64'-0" on Hollywood Existinq Buildinq Condition
Exterior The existing building remains a Beaux-Arts classical one-story reinforced concrete building; essentially the same since 1935. The exterior is clad interra cotta resting on a minimal granite base. The front (Hollywood Boulevard) facade has entrances and windows recessed between Corinthian pilasters. Three identical entrances consist of a pair of doors surrounded by decorative metal framework panels. One set of doors remains original from the 1924 remodel. The entablature for both the front and side facades consists of a simple architrave, decorated frieze, and a slight project- ing cornice with a leaf design. The slightly stepped facade above the entablature is plain except for two small medallions. A slightly pitched roof enclosure is covered with red clay tiles. The Highland Avenue facade differs only slightly from the Hollywood Boulevard one in that the pilasters are flat instead of round. A night depository is located in the northernmost bay and an access door and ATM machine are located in the southernmost bay. There is an alleyway located behind the building, though no access into the building currently uses this area. Generally, the exterior building is in remarkably good (historical) condition, although the entire facade needs to be cleaned of years of accumulated paint and dirt. Exterior conc.rete, tilework, terra cotta, and metal trim all require cleaning and restoration.
Interior Ground floor 1. Floor - Marble from the 1924 remodel remains in the main public (center) area. Other areas are covered in linoleum or carpet which need to be removed for investigation of underlying materials. Existinq Building Condition, continued Interior, continued
2. Walls - Stepped pilasters divide the wall planes into bays, repeating outside bay dimensions. Existing HVAC screens are located in both pilasters (north and east walls) and recessed wall planes (south wall). Painted wainscoting appears to be from one of the post-1935 remodelings. The vault is a dominating feature with no ornamental character.
3. Ceilinq - Plaster cornice and ceiling trim remain intact. Simple ceiling bands with minimal relief surround slightly recessed ceiling planes currently surfaced with acoustical ceiling tile (over non-decorative plaster substrate).
4. Liqhts - Present lighting throughout the building uses hanging or ceiling mounted fluorescent fixtures with no historical significance.
Basement
1. A large storeroom (stockroom) has scored (approximately 6" x 6" dimensions) concrete floors. All other floors are linoleum or plain concrete (mechanical rooms). 2. A former wood enclosed phone booth (date unknown) is located under the front stair. This stairway is intact with some decorative elements, but is not usable due to an infilled first floor opening.
3. All the rooms have been modified or remodeled and appear to have no historical references remaining. 4. Restrooms must be verified for compliance with Title 24 accessibility codes.
5. The basement is currently only accessible by one (back) stair. Existing Buildinq Condition, continued Interior, continued
Unlike the exterior, the overall interior has not retained its historical character. Perhaps the only (significant) features remaining include the main floor plaster ceiling cornice and plaster trimwork (banding), the main space marble, and the presently floored over front stair. All other bank fixture (vault excluded), lights, and materials have been too repeatedly replaced to allow for any historical references. Brief History of Federal Trust and Savings Bank
The Federal Trust and Savings Bank was organized in October 1922 by a group of Hollywood businessmen interested in the upbuilding of an institution that would have a vital part in the commercial life of the community. The bank opened for business, Saturday, October 7, 1922 in a temporary location in the Christie hotel building at 6740 Hollywood Boulevard. Among the Board of Directors were prominent citizens C.E. Toberman, President: Cecil B. DeMille, Vice-president; George Eastman, Vice-president; A.J. Olsen, Vice-president and Manager; and J.E. Brewer, Cashier. New headquarters were opened December 1, 1924 in the newly, remodeled Toberman Building at 6780 Hollywood Boulevard. The banking hours were 10 to 10 opening day. A ten dollar Gillette safety razor was given to every one opening a savings account of ten dollars or more on that day. All day radio concerts were featured as well as an evening concert from 7:30 until closing time featuring violin, harp, and violin. By 1925, 'Hollywood's Home Bank' had de?osits of $2,000,000 and controlling interest was acquired by Joseph M. Schenck and Associates. Activities were expected to be enlarged with particular attention to the needs and problems of motion picture people. Thus providing a closer relationship between picture interests and the commercial life of Hollywood. In 1926, Federal Trust and Savings Chairman of the Board, C.E. Toberman announced the appointment of S.G. Socher as executive vice president of the institution. Socher was considered to be one of the best financial experts on the Pacific Coast. The bank's rapid success ranked it among the largest independent banks in Hollywood and its board of directors was equally impressive. Listed among the 'Motion Picture Bank' Board of Directors in 1926 were such cinema leaders as Sid Grauman, Fred Niblo, Sidney Franklin, Louis B. Mayer, Mary Pickford, Douglas Fairbanks, and Norma Talmadge. Appendix -- Permit Listinq

SIGNIFICANCE .-
20. &ief~mte hdorical andlor araitecurr4 impatanfc (include &to. ennll. and persons -ated with thd site when known): The Hollywood 2oosevelt Hotel, named after Theodo;.e :?oosevelt, represented one of the first major business mergers between the film industry and civic leaders in the 20's. The Hotel Holding Company whose principal investors were C.E. Toberman, Joseph Shenk, Douglas Fairbanks, ,and Mary Pickford felt that a hotel of the quality of the Ambassador was needed in a cen$ral Hollywood location. Traver. the architect, created a hostelry whose interior was reminiscent of Spanish grandees; carved beamed ceilings in a two story lobby with wrought iron acoutrements and a fountain in the center. The twelve story hotel housed fou hundred rooms, and the "3lossom .:oomW was a popular supper club. The Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences were first organized at the i?oosevelt and later, this was the i~itiallocation of their offices. In 1928, the Roosevelt Eotel was the location of the first Academy Awards resentation at which numerous awards were given. Later Academy Award presentations were also held at the .;oosevelt.

Such automotive showrooms were once quite cmon on Hollywood Boulevard, however this structure is all that remains in Hollywood of a com- mercial type that once flourished. Architecturally, this building is an excellent ex- ample of a Neo-Renaissance structure with Art Deco einbellishments adopted to the sale and repair of the auto. This building still houses.C.C. Brown's, the oldest existing ice cream parlor and confectionary in Hollywood. They have been in the present building since / its construction and in Hollywood since 1919. C. C.

SIGNIFICANCE 20. Briefly xavr historical andlor arditphml importance (include dates. mnqand penons associated with the rite when known): A prime example of the Neo-Gothic commercial style that 20's profession- al men found so tasteful. Architect 3ichard D. King is noted for his con- tributions to school and commercial architecture. Originally King desimed a C. story building for H.P. Rehbein, the ground floor housing Ligget's Dru.5 Store. 3y 1929 ownership of this building had passed to real estate entre- yreneur. C. E. Toberman, who again commissioned King to enlarge the building to its present 8 story height. King's late addition is virtually indis- tinguishable from the earlier structure.
