The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, Los Angeles Branch, is a historic building that once served as offices for the Los Angeles branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco. The structure is located on West Olympic Boulevard and South Olive Street in southern Downtown Los Angeles.

History

[edit]

The original 1929 building was designed by John and Donald Parkinson in a Classical Moderne style with elements of Zigzag Moderne.[2][3][4] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[5]

Replacement

[edit]

The adjacent 304,000 square feet (28,200 m2) new branch structure with architectural design by Dan Dworsky, interiors by Gensler, construction by Swinerton & Walberg, and project Management by JLH Consulting, was completed in 1987 and dedicated in 1988.[6] The project cost was approximately $50 million. It now houses all operations of the Los Angeles Branch.

The original building has since been converted to residential lofts.
