Taken from the NRHP nomination form, "Bank of America^(6780 Hollywood Blvd.): 1914/1935; Morgan, Walls & Clements/35) Morgan, Walls & r Clements, a major Los Angeles architectural firm, remodeled a four story apartment building to conform with the new needs of the Boulevard as a financial center in 1935. The resulting Beaux Arts one story bank has anchored the corner of Hollywood and Highland, along with its neighbor across the street, Security Pacific. The small structure exhibits a variety of fine Classical detailing, with entrance and windows recessed between Corinthian pilasters. Three elaborate metal panels highlight the entrance. The entablature of both north and west facades has a decorated frieze and a projecting cornice. The flat roof has red tile at the parapet."
