Rich history, iconic presence
When it first opened in the 1920s, the Stanley Building was known as the ‘Builder’s Exchange Building’ and later the ‘Terminal Building’ as it was a part of the Los Angeles Greyhound Bus Terminal facilities complex from the late 1960s until the early 1990s. The structure is now named in honor of late Downtown Los Angeles philanthropist, businessman and Fashion District icon, Stanley Hirsh.
Designed by venerated architectural team of Walker and Eisen – known also for their work on the nearby Fine Arts Building and the United Artists Theater – this high rise is considered an excellent example of Beaux Arts commercial architecture in Downtown Los Angeles.
Today
Bringing the space into the 21st century, the building features brilliant natural light, high ceilings and enduring design features meant to offer dynamic, beautiful spaces for myriad uses. Now home to many creative studios and businesses, The Stanley Building has been an integral hub of commerce and connection since its inception nearly 100 years ago, and continues to live up to this reputation.
