Trustee Building is a historic four story building located at 340 S. Broadway in the Broadway Theater District in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles.
History
[edit]Trustee Building was designed by Parkinson and Bergstrom, the duo also responsible for the nearby Bullock's Building, Yorkshire Hotel, Metropolitan Building, and Broadway Mart Center. It was built in 1905[1] and originally housed financial institutions.[2]
On November 6, 1939, the Trustee Building's northern-adjacent neighbor caught fire, with the Los Angeles Fire Department using the Trustee Building to help respond. Trustee Building was saved, but its neighbor was not.[3]
In 1979, the Broadway Theater and Commercial District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Trustee Building listed as a contributing property in the district.[1]
The building was sold for $1.9 million in 2003.[4]
Architecture and design
[edit]Trustee Building is made of brick and concrete on a steel frame with a tiled facade.[1][2]
