Bullocks-Wilshire Department Store, 3050 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, CA

Significance: The Bullocks-Wilshire Department Store was built in 1928 as the first department store outside the main downtown business district of Los Angeles. In opening this 'branch' department of his downtown store, John C. Bullock helped to facilitate the expansion of the Los Angeles business district from downtown Los Angeles to the Wilshire district. The building was designed by John and Donald Parkinson, well known Los Angeles architects, and is the best remaining example of Art Deco in the area.
