Trustee Building is a historic four story building located at 340 S. Broadway in the Broadway Theater District in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles.
Trustee Building was designed by Parkinson and Bergstrom, the duo responsible for many buildings on Broadway, including Bullock's Building, Yorkshire Hotel, Metropolitan Building, and Broadway Mart Center. It was built in 1905 [1] and originally housed financial institutions. [2]
On November 6, 1939, the Trustee Building's northern-adjacent neighbor caught fire, with the Los Angeles Fire Department using the Trustee Building to help respond. Trustee Building was saved, but its neighbor was not. [3]
In 1979, the Broadway Theater and Commercial District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Trustee Building listed as a contributing property in the district. [1]
The building was sold for $1.9 million in 2003. [4]
