Llewellyn Iron Works

Llewellyn Iron Works was a foundry in 19th- and 20th-century Los Angeles and Torrance, California, United States.

[5] The steel-rolling mill in Torrance produced the steel used in the L.A. Biltmore Hotel on Pershing Square and several downtown banks.

[2] The company also produced street lights, fabricating a variety of electrolier designs and configurations.

More were eventually installed in other commercial districts in the city, and they became the most common street lights in early 20th century Los Angeles.

The district had been organized as the first lighting district in the County in August 10, 1912, and provided for the installation of street lighting in the newly founded communities of Van Nuys, Marian, and Owensmouth.
