Yorkshire Hotel, also known as Yorkshire Apartments[2] and J. D. Hooker Building,[3] is a historic six-story building located at 710-714 S. Broadway in the Broadway Theater District in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles.
History
[edit]Yorkshire Hotel was designed by Parkinson and Bergstrom, the architectural duo responsible for many buildings on Broadway, including Bullock's Building, Trustee Building, Metropolitan Building, and Broadway Mart Center.[1] Completed in 1909, the building was originally a hotel and cafeteria,[3] and was converted to housing and retail in 1972.[2][4]
In 1979, the Broadway Theater and Commercial District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Yorkshire Hotel listed as a contributing property in the district.[1]
The building was sold for $12.2 million in 2022 ($13.1 million in 2024).[4]
Architecture and design
[edit]Yorkshire Hotel is made of steel reinforced brick and concrete and has a pressed brick, terra cotta, tile, and ornamental iron facade. The building features cornice and arched windows.[1][3]
