Inscription. This site was part of the original 160 acres that developer Harvey Henderson Wilcox and his wife Daeida named "Hollywood." After Harvey's death, Daeida married into the Beveridge family, who commissioned this building around 1906 and named it Wilcox Hall. For years, it was the Sun Drug Store until being remodeled into Hollywood's finest example of an Art Deco Streamline Moderne building in 1933. Its windswept tower and its horizontally reinforced window design typify this architectural style. It is still considered a landmark of Hollywood's historic district.
