James Oviatt Building, Art Deco skyscraper in Downtown Los Angeles, United States.
The 13-story James Oviatt Building features glass elevator door panels, chandeliers, and a 12-ton illuminated glass cornice designed by René Lalique.
Completed in 1928 by Walker & Eisen architects, the building served as the headquarters for Alexander & Oviatt haberdashery until its closure in 1966.
The building interior contains numerous French Art Deco elements, including burled mahogany furniture and intricate parquet flooring in the penthouse residence.
Located at 617 South Olive Street, the building now functions as a venue for special events while maintaining its original architectural features.
The rooftop penthouse, one of the first in Los Angeles, contains custom-made furniture from Saddier et Fils and etched-glass windows by Gaetan Jeannin.
