The Town House (also known as Sheraton Town House and Sheraton West) was built in 1928 by architect Norman P. Alpaugh. The Colonial Revival style hotel was designated Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #576 in 1993, and was listed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1997, Building #96000821. Two separate addresses are listed for this building: 2959-2973 Wilshire Blvd. and 607-643 S. Commonwealth Ave. In the mid 1930s Wayne McAllister designed the Moderne Zebra Room cocktail lounge in the Towne House Hotel, which has since been removed. Soldiers march down Wilshire in a parade, just passing the Zebra Room nightclub (in the Town House) which is advertising informal dancing with the Rhythm Rascals. Patriotic decorations are on the street lighting.
