Los Angeles Board of Trade Building

The Los Angeles Board of Trade Building stands at the corner of Main Street and Seventh Street, featuring classical elements and decorative cornices throughout its fourteen floors.

The structure, completed in 1929, served as the headquarters for the California Stock Exchange starting in 1930, with a trading floor modeled after the New York Stock Exchange.

The building represents the architectural vision of Claud Beelman, who designed numerous significant structures that shaped the Los Angeles skyline during the early twentieth century.

Located at 111 West 7th Street, the building contains 230,000 square feet of space, with ground-floor retail spaces and upper floors converted into residential lofts.

This structure introduced the first automated elevators on the Pacific Coast, eliminating the need for manual operators in its passenger transportation system.
