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
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
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]
