Hollywood Bread Building, 1747 Van Buren Street, Hollywood, Florida, USA / Built: 1968 / Demolished: 2021 / Architect: S. Corman Blumenthal & Associates / Floors: 11 / Height: 126.86 ft / Architectural Style: Modernism
This building is a classic mid-century modern structure with a huge cantilevered roof and a well-designed parking garage under the structure. The sign used to be illuminated and could be seen for miles, as there were no other high rises around it at that time of its construction.
The following are building facts taken from emporis.com:
The Hollywood Bread Building consists of five floors of office space perched above a 6-level parking deck.
Built by Home Federal Savings & Loan Association, which built the adjacent Home Towers Condo and wanted to add a parking garage. Original plans called for an 18-story mixed-use tower with offices, apartments, and parking.
The makers of Hollywood Bread, National Bakers Service, leased the airspace above the garage for the office building. The bakery offices operated out of the 9th and 10th levels as well as the penthouse.
Eleanor Hansberry, the founder and president of Hollywood Bread, was photographed in her penthouse office for a 1969 issue of Vogue magazine.
