In 1928, legendary Hollywood make-up artist Max Factor purchased this building, designed by architect S. Charles Lee in the Hollywood Regency Art Deco style, with plans to house the Max Factor Hollywood Makeup Studio. Due to the Great Depression, it did not open until 1935. Factor's studio had specially decorated rooms designed to complement his patrons' complexions and hair colors, where he taught stars such as Lana Turner, Rita Hayworth, Claudette Colbert, and Jean Harlow his techniques. Donelle Dadigan opened the Hollywood Museum here in 2003.
