History
Outpost Building was built by E. Parcher, either in 1920[1] or 1927.[2]
In 1984, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Outpost Building listed as a contributing property in the district.[1]
Architecture
Outpost Building consists of two two-story buildings originally separated by a courtyard, then joined by a second story arcaded passage. The building features two competing architectural styles: Spanish Colonial Revival and French Regency. Elements of Spanish Colonial Revival include a red tiled roof, bell tower, arched windows, and wrought iron balconies, while the building's French Regency elements include a swan-necked pediment and stone medallions.[1]
Filming location
In Garry Marshall's Pretty Woman, the alleyway where a prostitute's dead body was found was filmed in the Outpost Building's lobby. Dear God, also directed by Marshall, filmed in this location as well, as did the sexploitation film Angel.[3]
