Description
English:
Exterior view of Trinity Auditorium Building, 9th Street and Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, ca.1914-1920
Photograph of the front exterior view of Trinity Auditorium Building (later the Embassy Hotel and Auditorium), 9th Street and Grand Avenue, Los Angeles, ca.1914-1920. The building is about 10-stories tall. The first floor consists of large arched opening allowing access to the main entrance and several other entrances. Four column buttresses under a wide pediment provide for a Greek look. A dome tower stands above the rooftop. There are two streetlamps on to of the roof (one on each end of the building). Below the lamps are fire-escape ladder wells, which run from the rooftop to the second floor. Early-model cars are parked along the street. An advertisement on the sidewalk showing a picture of a man reads: "Evan Williams, Trinity [...] 28". Other legible signs include: "[Th]anksgiving Market, [ho]me baked pies and cakes, real southern beat[...] biscuits, here November 25th".; "Built in 1914, this fine old building has served as a hotel, a church, and a university residence. When it was the Trinity Auditorium building, three stories were used for church purposes and 325 rooms above as a hotel for men. It had a roof garden, social halls, ladies parlor, and a library. The 2300 seat auditorium was used by Trinity for church functions on Sundays and was available for rent at other times for "high grade concerts, lectures, conventions, etc." In the 1980s, the University of Southern California purchased the building, using it for several years as a residential college." -- unknown author.
