Tail o’ the Pup is an iconic Los Angeles, California hot dog stand actually shaped like a hot dog. Built in 1946, the small, walk-up stand has been noted as a prime example of “mimic”-type novelty architecture. It is one of the very few surviving mid-20th century buildings that were built in the shapes of the products they sold.

Despite its appearance in countless movies and commercials, the stand faced demolition in the mid-1980s, creating an outcry that resulted in the stand being moved a few yards from its original location at 311 North La Cienega Boulevard, to 329 North San Vicente Boulevard. In December 2005, the stand vacated that location. News reports have indicated that space is being sought to move the stand elsewhere in early 2006, possibly to the Westwood section of Los Angeles. In the meantime, Tail o’ the Pup is currently closed.

The City of Los Angeles has since declared Tail o’ the Pup to be a cultural landmark.
