Bullock's complex is a collection of nine historic buildings located at 639-651 south Broadway, the 300-block of 7th Street, and 634-670 south Hill Street in the Jewelry District and Broadway Theater District in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles. Each building is a contributing property in the National Register of Historic Places-listed Broadway Theater and Commercial District, five buildings are contributing properties in the City of Los Angeles-recognized Hill Street Commercial Historic District, and four buildings are contributing properties in the City of Los Angeles-recognized Seventh Street Commercial Historic District.

The complex is currently the site of the St. Vincent's Jewelry Center. It was formerly the first and flagship site of Bullock's, known as Bullock's Downtown.

History

Layout of the nine buildings that comprised Bullock's Downtown

Bullock's complex began with the Bullock's building (also known as Earl or Tehama building), located on the corner of Broadway and 7th. This building, seven-stories in height, was built in 1906. It was financed by Arthur Letts, designed by Parkinson and Bergstrom, and built for John G. Bullock, who opened the original Bullock's in the building in March 1907. This store became known as Bullock's Downtown after other Bullock's locations opened.

Bullock's Downtown proved so successful that the location expanded eight times in less than three decades, expanding its floor area from 350,000 square feet (33,000 m) to 806,000 square feet (74,900 m). These expansions were:

  • Bullock's-Hollenbeck (also known as Hollenbeck Block) - built directly to Bullock's's north in 1912
  • Pease Building - a Niles Pease owned furniture store purchased and connected by a bridge and tunnel to Hollenbeck's west in 1917
  • Eshman (or Eschmann) Building - purchased to Bullock's's west in 1919
  • Bridge building - built to connect Bullock's and Eshman in 1921
  • Gennet Building - built directly to Pease's north in 1922
  • Hart '24 - built directly to Pease's south and Eshman's north in 1924
  • Hart '28 - built directly to Eshman's west and Hart '24's south in 1928
  • Mackey Building - built directly to Gennet's north in 1934.

Bullock's Downtown closed in June 1983. The complex later became St. Vincent's Jewelry Center, named after the college that was located here prior to Bullock's. Approximately 500 jewelers occupied the building as of 2009, and Big Lots also occupied 40,000 square feet (3,700 m) in the original Bullock's building, with their location taken over by Burlington Coat Factory in November 2015.

Historic designation

In 1979, the Broadway Theater and Commercial District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with all nine buildings in the Bullock's complex listed as contributing properties in the district. In 2016, the city of Los Angeles created the Hill Street Commercial Historic District and the Seventh Street Commercial Historic District, with the Pease, Gennet, Mackey, and both Hart buildings listed as contributing properties in the former and Bullock's, Bridge, Eshman, and Hart '28 listed as contributing properties in the latter.
