Victor Clothing Company Building

Victor Clothing Company, formerly City Hall North,[2] also known as Hosfield Building[3] and Victor Clothing Lofts,[4] is a historic five-story building located at 242 S. Broadway in the Broadway Theater District in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles.

[1] The building was originally built as a City Hall annex,[2] but by 2002 it contained ground-floor retail, second-story mezzanines for storage, and lofts on the third through fifth stories.

[5] In 2014, The Pope on Broadway was restored at a cost of $150,000 ($199,234 in 2024), spearheaded by the Los Angeles Mural Conservancy and paid for by Greenland USA.

All tenants, including Victor Clothing, were evicted following the sale, after which the building's upper floors were converted to live/work lofts.

[4] Victor Clothing Company is made of reinforced concrete with a brick facade, and was designed in the vernacular style with Beaux Arts elements in its massing and detailing.
