Overview

This two-floor building housed the Hollywood Citizen News newspaper that operated under different management between the 1931 through 1971. The newspaper was formed from the merger of the Hollywood Daily Citizen, that began operation in 1921, and the Hollywood News, that began production in the 1920s. (The Hollywood Daily Citizen was known as the "Hollywood Citizen" from 1905-1921, and before that the Hollywood Weekly Sentinel.)

Harlan G. Palmer, Sr., published the Hollywood Citizen newspaper beginning in 1911. During the Depression, Palmer agreed to consolidate resources with George Hoover's Hollywood News to form the Hollywood Citizen News. Palmer would go on to own and publish its successor, the Hollywood Citizen News from the 1931 until 1956, when his son, Harlan, Jr., took over as publisher. the Palmers owned the paper until the 1960s when they sold it. It remained active only until 1971.

A Los Angeles real estate investor, S.E. Edinger, bought the Citizen News Building in 2014. (See Roger Vincent, Los Angeles Times.com, "Art deco Hollywood Citizen News building is sold," published 04/02/2014, accessed 03/12/2018.)
