The History of the Rowan Building
The Rowan is an LA Innovator! Originally built by famed real estate developer Robert A Rowan and AC Bilicke, the building stands at the corner of 5th and Spring streets, a prime location in the heart of the Historic Core, at one time known as “The Wall Street of the West.”
The Rowan was designed in 1911 by two legends of architecture: John Parkinson, architect of the Los Angeles City Hall and the Pacific Stock Exchange, aided by G. Edwin Bergstrom, famed designer of The Pentagon. The firm of Parkinson & Bergstrom designed the Los Angeles Athletic Club, the Alexandria Hotel, and the original building of Bullock’s Department Store.
The Rowan Building was once home to many of the city’s oldest and most prominent law offices and stock brokerage firms during the original golden years of the downtown Los Angeles area.
THE BUILDING
Deeply rooted in the history of Downtown Los Angeles, The Rowan is today an iconic loft residence located in the center of an innovative neighborhood with eclectic restaurants, galleries and shops, the Old Bank District. Next door is Spring Street park, epicenter of the Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk.
The Rowan has exceptional natural lighting by day, with skyline views by night. Owing to it’s extremely high ratio of window to square footage, combined with it’s southwest orientation. The original mahogany sash is beautifully restored, featuring laminated glass windows in operable frames. Most windows measure 4’x8’ or larger.
