Hollywood Memorial Church, also known as Hollywood Methodist Episcopal Church, was a church and community landmark located at the southeast corner of Prospect Avenue (now Hollywood Boulevard) and Weyse Avenue (now Vine Street) in what is now Hollywood, California. It was built by the German Methodist Church on land owned by Daeida Beveridge in 1903, and featured a four-story steeple and Mission Revival architecture. In 1923, it was bought for $125,000 by A.Z. Taft Jr., who tore it down and built the Taft Building in its place.[2]
