History and Renovation
Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #294
Directed by internationally acclaimed interior designer Kelly Wearstler Interior Design (kwid) and award-winning architectural firm Killefer Flammang Architects, the detailed redesign brought new polish to Eastern Columbia’s faceted beauty.
“Eastern Columbia, Broadway at Ninth” – over several decades, the city’s airwaves chimed this jingle to advise Los Angeles shoppers of new arrivals and special offers at Downtown’s flagship department store. For years the tallest building on the area skyline, the Eastern Columbia Outfitting Company opened on September 12, 1930. ¨Perhaps Los Angeles’ finest example of the Art Deco era’s zig zag moderne style, the Claude Beelman-designed tower has long captivated arts and architecture scholars. Faced in turquoise terra cotta and trimmed with deep blue and gold terra cotta, the tower’s façade features sunburst patterns, geometric shapes, zigzags, chevrons and other stylized motifs. A four-sided clock tower emblazoned in neon with the name EASTERN caps its thirteen stories.
After retail operations ceased in 1957, Eastern Columbia was transformed into studio and office space for local garment businesses and arts organizations. Among the tenants: the Los Angeles Conservancy and West Coast swimwear icon Jantzen. In fact, just up until residential conversions began, a fashion runway blazed through the building’s eleventh floor.

¨The Historic Core¨ Loosely outlined by 3rd Street on the north edge, 10th Street to the south, Hill to the west and Main to the east, the Historic Core was the cradle of early Los Angeles commerce and entertainment. A frequent backdrop for film sets, the area’s lofty Victorian, Beaux Arts and Art Deco buildings instantly telegraph urban history and culture. But it’s at the pedestrian level that the Historic Core truly reveals its deep roots – and its rising outlook. Along Broadway, retailers vend diverse wares at Grand Central Market and the Arcade building, and vintage movie palaces host concerts and dance clubs.
