Roosevelt Building, Historic skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles, United States.

The Roosevelt Building is a multi-story skyscraper in downtown Los Angeles with decorative architectural details and large windows. Its facade features symmetrical design with vertical elements that make the structure appear to reach upward.

Completed in 1926, the Roosevelt Building was designed by Claude Beelman and Alexander Curlett of Curlett & Beelman and built by the J. V. McNeil Company, which put up several Los Angeles high-rises of the period. It was later converted to lofts and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007.

The building displays classical design ideas that were common in early Los Angeles development and shaped how commercial structures looked throughout the city. Its style reflects how buildings of that time were meant to suggest stability and prosperity.

The Roosevelt Building stands along 7th Street between Flower Street and the rest of Downtown's historic core, with its long 250-foot 7th Street frontage and a shorter 137-foot Flower Street side. It is a residential loft building, not an office complex, so access to the interior is for residents and their guests; visitors can view the off-white terra cotta facades from the public sidewalk.

The building's off-white terra cotta, made to resemble rusticated stone blocks, was manufactured by Gladding, McBean & Company. Its E-shaped plan creates interior light wells, and the Seventh Street facade runs about 250 feet while the Flower Street side measures roughly 137 feet.
