Key Points:
- The building is most iconic as the longtime home of the Cat & Fiddle Restaurant & Pub, a rock and roll watering hole, and a cherished Hollywood institution.
- The pub occupied the space from 1985 to 2014, until gentrification and a steep rent increase forced it to move.
- The Fred C. Thomson Building was designed by Henry L. Gogerty and Carl Jules Weyl (an Academy Award Winner).
- The Thomson Building, once home to the iconic The Cat & Fiddle restaurant on Sunset Boulevard, is a welcome addition to Hollywoods historic cultural monument list.
