Reeves Building, also known as Rowan Building,[1] is a historic building located at 525 S. Broadway in the Jewelry District and Broadway Theater District in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles.
History
[edit | edit source]Reeves Building, built in 1903, was designed by John Parkinson,[2] the architect responsible for some of Los Angeles's most notable landmarks, including City Hall and the Memorial Coliseum.[3] The building, originally five-stories[2] and currently one,[4] has housed several different stores over the years.[1]
In 1979, the Broadway Theater and Commercial District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Reeves Building listed as a non-contributing property in the district.[2]
Architecture and design
[edit | edit source]Reeves Building is built of brick and originally featured a pediment, balcony, and a glazed metal and synthetic stone facade.[2] The facade has since been covered by a less ornamental one, an alteration that has been described as "radical."[1]
