John Parkinson, architect.
The Continental Building was originally known as the Braly Building.
The 12-story building is considered the first "skyscraper" in Los Angeles. It was the tallest building in Los Angeles until 1907. It is known for its highly ornamental cornice and bands.
The Continental Building was converted into lofts as part of Tom Gilmore's Old Bank District lofts project.
It was designated a Historic Cultural Landmark (HCM #730) in 2002.
In 1902-1904, the Hellman and Continental Buildings were the first major structures to anchor the Spring Street Financial District.
