Catalina Swimwear Building

The façade has Neoclassical features and articulation that reflect early twentieth-century architecture, more formal than typical for a building intended for manufacturing purposes.

The Catalina Swimwear Building is located on the southwest corner of San Pedro and Winston Streets.

The building is of reinforced concrete construction, and the upper façade is sheathed in a Flemish bond brick pattern.

It was the headquarters for Catalina Swimwear (one of the oldest clothing manufacturers in California) from 1923 to 1960, at which time the company moved to the city of Commerce.

"Work will include removing stucco from the ground floor façade to reveal original terracotta, adding a rooftop gym and possibly putting up a sign for the Catalina Swimwear Company as a way of honoring the structure’s history.
