The building's architecture is based on the J.J. Newberry building, which is located at 6600 Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles. The building was built in 1924 and unlike the Hollywood Studios counterpart, it was painted turquoise-and-gold.  

As for the name of Celebrity 5 & 10, the name refers to the old 5 & 10 stores that were popular in many towns across America.  Stores such as Ben Franklin, Woolworth's, and J.J. Newberry's were all classic examples of these variety stores.
