6806 Hollywood Boulevard is a historic Art Deco structure at 6806 West Hollywood Boulevard in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California.[1]
6806 Hollywood Boulevard was built in 1922 as a multi-story stucco commercial building, with some art deco ornament in its design.[1] The building had two stories in 1926 and four by 1944, one of which was a mezzanine. It originally housed the Bonnie Brier hotel.[2]
In 1984, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with 6806 Hollywood Boulevard listed as a contributing property in the district. The listing describes the building as having three stories.[1]
In 1983, Mazen Nazzal and a partner invested in the building, and Nazzal bought out his partner in 2013. At this point, the building housed ground floor retail and a hostel run by Nazzal's sons in the two floors above.[2]
In 2024, 6806 Hollywood Boulevard was one of four Hollywood and Highland buildings proposed for demolition to make way for a metro entrance on the K Line Northern Extension. The other buildings were Bank of America Building, Hollywood Theater, and Lee Drug.[3]
