The 1956 CD lists the Hotel Vermillion/Vermillion Hotel at 6162 Hollywood Boulevard. Back in the 1942 CD, the Hotel Regent was at 6162 Hollywood Boulevard.
I found a better view of the Hotel Regent in 'The Story of Hollywood: An Illustrated History' by Gregory Paul Williams. It also identifies the two-story building as the Strothers Mortuary.
