Boyle Hotel – Cummings Block

The Boyle Hotel features Queen Anne architectural elements with a corner turret, cast-iron storefront columns, and a grand interior staircase at First Street intersection.

The four-story building, completed in 1889, stood as the tallest structure in Boyle Heights and functioned as a central gathering point for community activities.

The ground floor includes a Mariachi Cultural Center that provides dedicated spaces for local musicians to gather, practice, and maintain their musical traditions.

The renovated building contains fifty-one affordable housing units with individual kitchens and bathrooms, plus three commercial spaces on the street level.

A comprehensive $24.6 million rehabilitation project in 2013 transformed this National Register landmark into low-income residences while preserving its exterior details.
