Higgins Building, Residential tower in Downtown Los Angeles, United States.

The ten-story concrete structure at West 2nd and South Main Streets features marble walls, brass fittings, and kalamine metal window frames throughout its floors.

Constructed in 1910 by copper entrepreneur Thomas Higgins, the building represented the highest concrete structure in Los Angeles at the time of its completion.

The basement space transformed into The Edison nightclub in 2007, incorporating elements from the original electrical generating station that powered early Los Angeles.

The building contains residential lofts with natural ventilation systems, filtered water supply, and access to downtown entertainment venues at street level.

Hidden within its sub-basement, the structure housed one of the first electrical power generators in Los Angeles, supporting the city's early industrial development.
