The Platt Building, Historic highrise in Broadway Theater District, Los Angeles, United States
The Platt Building is a twelve-story highrise located at 834 South Broadway in Los Angeles, featuring a steel-framed concrete structure with decorative terra cotta elements on its facade. The design respects the maximum legal height limits that were set during its construction period.
The building was designed in 1927 by the architectural firm Walker & Eisen as a defining structure in the Broadway Theater District. Its ownership and use changed over the decades, reflecting the evolving character of downtown Los Angeles.
The building housed the Platt Music Corporation's concert hall, which became a hub for musicians and music lovers in downtown Los Angeles. This performance space shaped the area's cultural identity during the early twentieth century.
The building is located in the active theater district along Broadway and is surrounded by other theaters and shops. It is accessible on foot and near several public transit stops in the area.
In 1964, owners Annette and Jack Needleman renamed the property Anjac Fashion Building by combining their first names. This change reflects how individual owners have shaped the building's story over time.
