Concept
Times Mirror Square
Summary
Times Mirror Square is a complex of buildings on the block bounded by Spring, Broadway, First and Second streets in the Civic Center district of Downtown Los Angeles. It was headquarters of the Los Angeles Times until 2018. It is currently vacant, with plans being proposed regarding how to best utilize the existing buildings and the total ground area of the site.
Times Mirror Square includes:
The Los Angeles Times Building (or "Kaufmann Building") at the southwest corner of First and Spring Streets, opened in 1935. It was built as the headquarters of the Los Angeles Times and was designed in Art Deco style by Gordon B. Kaufmann. The building won a gold medal at the 1937 Paris Exposition. Harry Chandler, then the president and general manager of Times-Mirror Co., at its opening, declared the building a "monument to the progress of our city and Southern California".
The ten-story 1948 Mirror Building or Crawford Addition at the northwest corner of Second and Spring, designed by Rowland Crawford Site of the 1880s Nadeau Hotel and adjacent to its west, a building used as City Hall from 1884 to 1888.
The 1973 Pereira Addition, a six-story glass and steel structure on the southeast corner of First and Broadway, which was inaugurated as the headquarters of the Times Mirror Company. The International-style wing designed by William Pereira "recapitulates the geometric order and monumentality of the Kaufmann structure", according to the Los Angeles Conservancy.
A parking garage at the northeast corner of Second and Broadway
The parking garage at 213 S. Spring, stretching from the west side of Spring to the east side of Broadway between 2nd and 3rd streets, is sometimes referred to as the "Los Angeles Times Parking Garage", but is not actually part of Times Mirror Square. On both sides there are relief sculptures by Tony Sheets, Evolution of Printing and Evolution of Los Angeles, respectively, created in 1988–1989.
