Security Trust, also known as Hollywood Savings and Loan, is a historic bank building with attached retail storefronts located at 7051-7055 W Hollywood Blvd., on the corner of Hollywood Boulevard and Sycamore Avenue, in Hollywood, California.

History

Security Trust was built in 1928 by John and Donald Parkinson, the duo responsible for some of Los Angeles's most notable landmarks, including Union Station and the Memorial Coliseum. This building was originally a one-story bank with three attached one-story storefronts.[1] Additional stories were added to the building sometime after 1980.[2]

In 1984, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Security Trust and its attached storefronts listed as a separate contributing properties in the district.[1]

Scientology

In 1995, the Church of Scientology bought the building for $1.6 million ($3.38 million in 2025), to be owned by church affiliate Author Services Inc. The building is currently used for readings of L. Ron Hubbard's pulp fiction and also to house a library of Hubbard's novels and short-story collections.[3]

Architecture and design

Security Trust was designed in the Beaux-Arts style and features a central entryway flanked by two colossal Corinthian columns.[1]
