History
[edit | edit source]Singer Building was built in 1922 by Meyer and Holler,[1] the architecture firm also responsible for Hollywood's Chinese and Egyptian theaters and Hollywood First National.[2] The building's original tenants were the Southern California Music Company, who used it for sales and also hosted concerts in a top floor auditorium,[3] and the Singer sewing machine company.[4]
In 1979, the Broadway Theater and Commercial District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Singer Building listed as a contributing property in the district.[1]
In 2018, the building was converted to residential with ground floor retail.[3]
Architecture and design
