SIGNIFICANCE Briefly state historical andlor architectural imponance (include dates, events. and persons associated with the site.)

Hidden by trees and shrubs, the white-spired church on Argyle is a religious insti- tution with its roots in the entertainment industry. Southern evangelical preacher,, Dr. William Hogg came to Hollywood in 1932. With the idea that radio would be an excellent medium for his message, he began a program on KFAC. "The Country Church of Hollywood" proved so successful that Dr. Hogg, with the aid of volunteers, builE an actual country church on this site. Rev. Hogg, or "Parson Josiah Hopkins" as he was known, made daily national broadcasts until his death in 1937. The'program was con- tinued by his wife until 1956. The nondenomingtional church has a membership of several hundred, holding regular services under the guidance of the Hoggs' daughter. It is a favorite for weddings, and a landmark on ~ r ~ ~ l e north of ~oll~wood ~oulevard.

One of the "rare" pre-1905 houses of Hollywood. this structure has had a Colonial Revival addition as its orientation changed from Hollywood Boulevard to Bronson Avenue. Originally, the home of local citizen, J.C. Newitt, this home has survived the commerciaX development of the Boulevard. An early Colonial Revival, this structure combines the verticality of the Victorian era with that of the newer more simplified Oolonial style.
