Pico House, Historic hotel in Downtown Los Angeles, United States

The three-story Italianate building features 82 bedrooms, 21 parlors, and a central courtyard with high ceiling windows on each floor.

Governor Pio Pico commissioned architect Ezra F. Kysor to construct this grand hotel in 1869, marking the first luxury establishment in Los Angeles.

The building represents the transformation of Los Angeles from a small Mexican town into a modern American city during the late 1800s.

Located at 430 North Main Street, the Pico House stands across from Olvera Street and forms part of the Los Angeles Plaza Historic District.

Each floor contained separate bathrooms and water closets for men and women, an advanced feature for buildings in 1870s Los Angeles.
