Blackstone Building (Los Angeles)
The Blackstone Building (formerly ''Blackstone's Department Store'', now the ''Blackstone Apartments'') is a 1916 structure located at 901 South Broadway in Los Angeles, California. It has been listed as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument since 2003 (number LA-765).〔(Monument Search Results Page )〕 The Blackstone Department Store Building is an early example of the work of John B. Parkinson, Los Angeles’ preeminent architect of the early twentieth century. The building is clad in gray terra cotta and styled in the Beaux Arts school.〔(Blackstone Department Store Building | Los Angeles Conservancy )〕
== History ==
Nathaniel Blackstone (brother-in-law of department store magnate J. W. Robinson) opened Blackstone's Dry Goods in 1895 on the 300 block of Broadway, and later hired Parkinson to design his flagship store further down the street, opening in 1917.〔(Early Downtown Los Angeles - Cory Stargel, Sarah Stargel - Google Books )〕 In 1939, Blackstone’s was sold to the Famous Department Store Company, and renovated by Morgan, Walls & Clements. Stiles O. Clements designed a ground-floor façade in the Streamline Moderne style; this façade is now protected by an easement by the Los Angeles Conservancy.〔
In 2010, the Blackstone Building was adaptively reused and converted to 82 apartments with ground-floor retail space and a subterranean parking garage.〔(Romancing the Blackstone - News - LADTN )〕
