<p>The Broadway Hollywood Building  is a building in Los Angeles&#39; Hollywood district. The building is situated in the Hollywood Walk of Fame monument area on the southwest corner of the intersection referred to as Hollywood and Vine, marking the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Vine Street. It was originally built as the B. H. Dyas Building in 1927. The Broadway Hollywood Building is referred to by both its main address of 6300 Hollywood Boulevard and its side address of 1645 Vine Street.</p><br>
<p>The Broadway Hollywood Building is a contributing property to the National Register of Historic Places USA Historic District-listed Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District. It has been listed as both a historic district contributing property and individually registered historic property by the city of Los Angeles and the state of California. The building has a neon sign above it that is considered notable and historic.</p><br>
<p>The Broadway Hollywood Building was built as a department store, but has been refurbished as both commercial office space and residential condominiums. For several decades it hosted The Broadway. The building had an annex built to the west in 1939 and is also associated with the address 6316 Hollywood Boulevard. As a residential building, the building&#39;s units have had numerous famous owners.</p><br>
<h2>Details</h2><br>
<p>Although several sources describe the building as a ten-story building, the building is described as a nine-story building in the Hollywood Boulevard 1985 National Register of Historic Places nomination form. Atop the ten-story building is a two-story penthouse that serves as the base for the metal neon sign that says "The Broadway Hollywood". The original department store was designed by Frederick Rice Dorn in 1927 and its annex was designed by local architects John Parkinson and Donald B. Parkinson in 1938. It was originally built in the neoclassical architecture style from reinforced concrete with brick upper stories that, along with the street level, include the bulk of the detailing. Notable details include a classical entablature surmounts pilasters with Corinthian capitals, which result in what is described as a colonnade effect, which is repeated in the upper stories. The building is capped with a heavy cornice. The structure&#39;s highly ornamented facade includes decorative cornices and terra cotta pilasters. The top two stories has Corinthian-styled columns situated upon a projecting beltcourse.</p><br>
<p>Although sources describe the annex as eight storeys, According to the City of Los Angeles Office of Economic Development, the annex used "Streamline Moderne Style, characterized by the absence of ornamentation and an emphasis on smooth wall surfaces, rounded corners, flat roofs and linear elements that give a horizontal emphasis." The unifying exterior element between the original structure and its annex are the ground level colonnades.</p><br>
<h3>Recognition</h3><br>
<p>The building is included in the National Register of Historic Places USA Historic District-listed Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District, which covers from 6200–7000 Hollywood Boulevard, that was designated April 4, 1985. The building and its neon sign were individually designated as a City monument (LA-664) on September 29, 1999. On April 4, 1985, the building and the entire Hollywood Blvd Commercial & Entertainment District were recognized by the California Office of Historic Preservation with status code 1D in designations 0053-4680-0054 and 0053-4680-9999, respectively. The building is covered by the Mills Act (Contract Number: 53175873 and Case Number: CHC-2005-5690-MA).</p><br>
<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>In 1922, as Hollywood Boulevard regional shopping district, second only to Downtown Los Angeles, was taking form, stock was sold to finance construction of a four-story building at Hollywood and Vine to house a branch of Boadway Bros., a small Pasadena-based department store chain. Boadway’s went out of business in 1923, and B. H. Dyas agreed to open in the building instead.</p><br>
<p>In 1927, the Classical Revival Style building was built by local businessman Frank R. Strong as a B. H. Dyas Company Department Store. Due to the Great Depression, B. H. Dyas had to consolidate its operation back to its original store and The Broadway purchased the 30-year lease for this prime location for $2 million (US$ million in dollars) in 1931. The Broadway Hollywood Building quickly found its niche by serving the Hollywood&#39;s film and finance industries demand for high end products.</p><br>
<p>With the store&#39;s profits, it was able to expand in 1938 with 52,000 ft&sup2; of retail space. In 1939, an eight-story modern annex designed by Parkinson and Parkinson was built immediately to the west. The Broadway Department Store served as a tenant until 1982, after which building was reconfigured for office use.</p><br>
<p>In 2005 and after having been vacant for many years, a renovation began to convert the 10-story building into 96 loft condominiums, while adding two floors to the annex. In July 2008, the residents sued the bar on the first floor of the building for its noise pollution, resulting in the relocation of the bar in February 2009. Among the current and past owners of the building&#39;s loft condominiums are Dave Navarro, Jason Statham, Danny Masterson, and Charlize Theron.</p><br>
<p>In 2016, the building was sold for $14.2 million.</p><br>
<h2>In popular culture</h2><br>
<p>The Broadway Hollywood building was featured in Charlie Chaplin&#39;s Modern Times.</p><br>
<p>The Barn on Lot 8, Range G is a historic barn in rural Franklin County, Maine. The barn was built in two stages, the first estimated to be around 1825, the second in 1899. It exhibits an architecturally distinctive solution to issues surrounding the expansion of a traditional English barn. The barn was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011.</p><br>
<h2>Setting</h2><br>
<p>The barn is located on the west side of Foster Hill Road (Maine State Route 145), in Freeman Township, a former town about 15 mi north of Farmington which was incorporated in 1803 and disincorporated in 1934. The property on which the barn stands has uncertain ownership prior to 1825, and has always been referred to in property records as Lot 8, Range G. The barn stands behind a -story wood frame Cape style house which also appears to date to the first half of the 19th century, whose historical integrity has been compromised by alterations including the application of modern siding. The buildings are surrounded by several acres of fields and former orchard, beyond which lie woods.</p><br>
<h2>Description</h2><br>
<p>The barn is a rectangular structure about 65 ft long and 36 ft wide, with a gable roof. It is oriented east–west, perpendicular to the road. The eastern section of the barn, measuring 46 ft in length, is a traditional English barn built c. 1825, with some modest modifications made to accommodate the western section, which was added in 1899. The original entrance to the older portion is roughly centered on that sections north face, and is a sliding door 12 ft wide. A second, hinged doorway is in the western gable in the new section. There are two pedestrian entrances on the east face, and there is irregular fenestration on the east, south, and west faces. The exterior of the walls is clad in vertical sheathing which is probably a 20th-century replacement. The barns roof is steel.</p><br>
<p>The interior of the barn clearly shows the two sections of the barn. The older portion is built using hand-hewn timbers and scribe-rule joinery, while the newer portion uses sawn timbers and square-rule joinery. It is basically oriented with a north–south aisle separating three bays on either side. The central bay on the west side has been adapted to serve as a passage into the new portion, whose bays run east-to-west. In order to accommodate this addition. two of the older barns main supports were relocated to either side of this new passage. This type of alteration had, as of this barns National Register nomination in 2011, not been seen elsewhere in Maine. A more typical process of expanding an English barn in rural New England was to simply build a second English barn and attach it to the first, but this resulted in two separate aisles. A second common method was to reorient the old barn&#39;s doors to the gable ends, reorienting all of the central posts to accommodate the new central aisle. In this barn, only one side was altered, creating an internal T-shaped aisle layout.</p><br>

<h2>History</h2><br>
<p>Thompson Hall was the first building to be built on the new campus of the New Hampshire College of Agricultural and Mechanical Arts, which had been founded in 1866 as a land grant college and was previously located near the Dartmouth College campus in Hanover. Benjamin Thompson, a Durham farmer, died 1890, leaving an estate worth $400,000, with 253 acre of land, to the state for use as an agricultural school. The state accepted his gift, and construction of Thompson Hall began in 1891, with a landscape plan for the campus developed by Charles Eliot. The unfinished hall was the site of graduation in spring 1893, and was formally opened for classes that fall.</p><br>
<p>The hall has housed the college presidents office since its construction, and its other spaces have seen a wide variety of uses. At first it housed all of the college facilities, including classrooms, laboratories, a library, and a gymnasium. The gymnasium moved into a new building in 1899 and the library moved out in 1907. Over the following decades it came to house more administrative offices, as academic facilities moved to new buildings. In 1952, the buildings single bell was replaced by an electronic carillon. The interior was extensively altered in 1986, retaining only a few rooms in their original appearance; one of these houses had museum displays relating to the university&#39;s history.</p><br>
