This imposing Los Angeles landmark was built in 1896 by architect John Parkinson, and was known as the primary steel-reinforced and fireproof structure in the city. Thereafter, it gained its most popular status, the one that designated the building as home to the wildly popular Grand Central Market. The market replaced its erstwhile occupant, the Ville de Paris Department Store in 1917. The Homer Laughlin Building has since seen several renovations, once in the 1905 and again in the 1990s. The building is also well known for serving as the office of Frank Lloyd Wright, famed American architect, sometime in the roaring twenties.
