Bullock's complex is a collection of nine historic buildings located at 639-651 south Broadway, the 300-block of 7th Street, and 634-670 south Hill Street in the Jewelry District and Broadway Theater District in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles.
Each building is a contributing property in the National Register of Historic Places-listed Broadway Theater and Commercial District,[1] five buildings are contributing properties in the City of Los Angeles-recognized Hill Street Commercial Historic District,[2] and four buildings are contributing properties in the City of Los Angeles-recognized Seventh Street Commercial Historic District.
[1] In 2016, the city of Los Angeles created the Hill Street Commercial Historic District and the Seventh Street Commercial Historic District, with the Pease, Gennet, Mackey, and both Hart buildings listed as contributing properties in the former and Bullock's, Bridge, Eshman, and Hart '28 listed as contributing properties in the latter.
[1] Bullock's is a seven-story steel frame and brick building designed by Parkinson and Bergstrom and built in 1906.
It features a Beaux Arts design with a brick and terra cotta facade that includes heavy cornice.
[1] Bridge spans St. Vincent's Place, connecting the upper six stories of the Bullock's and Eshman buildings.
The building is virtually indistinguishable from Hart '24 and features fenestration that consists primarily of three-part Chicago windows.
