Julian Medical Building was financed by the Beveridge family[1] and designed by Morgan, Walls & Clements, the architectural firm responsible for many Los Angeles landmarks, including the Dominguez–Wilshire Building, Adamson House, Chapman Plaza, and the El Capitan, Music Box, Wiltern, Mayan, and Belasco theaters.

[2] This building, which features a combination of Art Deco and Streamline Moderne styles, was built in 1934.

[4] In 1984, the Hollywood Boulevard Commercial and Entertainment District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Julian Medical Building listed as a contributing property in the district.

The building's distinctive features include a rounded Moderne corner, windswept tower, and pylon-separated horizontally-reinforced windows.

[3][7] Cahuenga Building in Disney California Adventure Park’s Hollywood Land and Keystone Clothiers in Disney’s Hollywood Studios are modeled after the Julian Medical Building.
