Grand Avenue and 5th Street, Downtown

Also known as the Southern California Edison Company Building, this was one of the first all-electrically heated and cooled buildings built in the western United States. The fourteen-story steel frame building boasts the classic Art Deco style that is apparent throughout, with spandrels containing a cubic art deco pattern on the façade, and impressive murals in the lobby.
