About The Hollywood Palladium: It was built in a Streamline Moderne, Art Deco style and includes an 11,200 square foot dance floor including a mezzanine and a floor level with room for up to 5,000 if standing. The theater was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2016.

Los Angeles Times publisher Norman Chandler funded the construction of the art deco Hollywood Palladium at a cost of $1.6 million in 1940. It was built where the original Paramount lot once stood. The style dance hall was designed by Gordon Kaufmann, architect of the Greystone Mansion, the Los Angeles Times building and the Santa Anita Racetrack. He was also the architect for the Hoover Dam. The ballroom opened on October 31, 1940 with a dance featuring Tommy Dorsey and his Orchestra and band vocalist Frank Sinatra. It had six bars serving liquor and two more serving soft drinks.

In the 1950’s, the studios had Oscar parties there. In fact the Roger Neal Oscar Viewing & After Party will be the first Oscar Viewing Party ever held since that era.
