Judson-Rives Building, originally the Broadway Central Building, also known as The Judson, is a historic ten story high-rise located at 424 S. Broadway in the Broadway Theater District in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles.




History


Judson-Rives Building, originally the Broadway Central Building, was designed by Charles Ronald Aldrich and built in 1906.
In 1928, Judson Rives took over ownership of the building, at which point the building was renamed after him. Rives remodeled the building lobby in 1929 and a multi-colored neon marquee was added in the 1930s. This marquee was replaced by a plainer one in the 1970s.
In 1979, the Broadway Theater and Commercial District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Judson-Rives Building listed as a contributing property in the district. The building was listed as Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument #881 in 2007.
In 2005, the building was purchased then converted into a 60-unit residential apartment complex named The Judson, which opened in 2008. David Gray Architects led the conversion.

The building's ground floor space, originally a shoe store, was bought by Metropolitan Theatres, who built the Broadway Theatre, designed by Lawrence McConville, in the space. The theater opened in 1924.
In 1973, the theater was renamed Teatro Broadway as it began playing Spanish language cinema. In 1988, it was removed, after which the ground floor was re-converted to retail.




Architecture and design


Judson-Rives Building features Beaux Arts architecture and is made of steel-framed concrete and brick with a granite, sandstone, and glazed terra cotta facade.
