Brockman Building, Heritage building in Downtown Los Angeles, United States

The Brockman Building is a 12-story Beaux-Arts, Classical and Romanesque Revival building on 7th Street in Downtown Los Angeles, designed by George D. Barnett of Barnett, Haynes & Barnett. Its ground floor has housed Bottega Louie since 2009, and the upper floors were converted into 80 loft apartments between 2006 and 2008.

Built in 1912 by architect George D. Barnett, the structure marked the beginning of westward expansion for the commercial district. Its completion helped establish this area as an important business center.

The building mixes commercial and residential uses in a way that shows how the city adapts and changes. Today, people from different backgrounds use both the ground-floor businesses and the homes above.

The building stands on 7th Street between Hope and Grand, a short walk from the 7th Street/Metro Center station. Bottega Louie occupies the ground floor and serves throughout the day, so the lobby and sidewalk are busiest at meal times. Upper floors are private residences and not open to visitors.

The building's roofline was connected to a famous film scene, though the actual shooting took place at a different location. This film history connection often goes unnoticed by visitors.
