Gerry Building, building in California, United States
The Gerry Building is a nine-story factory structure in Los Angeles completed in 1947 and constructed with concrete. It features curved steel-framed windows, scored concrete panels on the exterior, and a lobby with a terrazzo floor.
The building was designed by Maurice Fleischman and Herbert Alden in 1947 and was among the first structures built in downtown Los Angeles after World War II. In 2002 it underwent renovation, with windows repaired and old finishes removed to ensure durability.
The Gerry Building sits in the heart of the LA Fashion District and has served as a center for fashion showrooms and designers for decades. Its presence continues to shape the character and business life of this district today.
The building is located in downtown Los Angeles and is easy to reach, with shops and galleries nearby to explore. Access to public areas and showrooms is available, though note that some spaces operate during business hours.
The entrance facade is crowned by a canopy that displays the building's name in large stainless steel letters, making it immediately recognizable from the street. This distinctive signage is a hallmark of Late Moderne style and was typical of buildings from this era.
