Description
Photograph included in the Exhibit: L.A. Landmarks - Lost and Almost Lost.
Designed by Stiles O. Clements, this classic Streamline Moderne building was first occupied in 1938 by Coulter's Dry Goods. In the 1970s, the store changed hands and became a Broadway. After the building was demolished in 1980, the site remained vacant until the late-2000s, when a 5-story mixed-use structure was built.
Coulter's Department Store at 5600 Wilshire Boulevard in the "Miracle Mile."
