SUMMARY
The 1927 Arcady Apartments are located on the northeast corner of Wilshire and Rampart
Boulevards between MacArthur Park and Lafayette Park in Westlake. The building was
designed by prominent architects Walker and Eisen and developed by J.B. Lilly and P.B.
Fletcher who built the Wilshire Gaylord Apartments to the west. The Arcady opened originally as
a luxury apartment hotel with 396 rooms. The building later housed a Howard Johnson's hotel
and a Fifield Manor, a home for the elderly. Today the building is known as the Wilshire Royale
Hotel and serves as an apartment building. Before the Arcady was developed on the site, it
housed the Higgins Mansion, HCM #403, now on Lucerne Boulevard in Windsor Square, which
was moved from the subject property in 1924.
The twelve-story Arcady Apartments building is in the Beaux Arts style with a “U”-shaped plan
that opens west towards Rampart Boulevard. The open courtyard of the “U” served as the
original entrance and was formerly ornamented by a large cast stone archway. The archway
was removed in 1971 after suffering earthquake damage. A side entrance located on Wilshire
Boulevard became the primary entrance to the building. Today the courtyard is walled off from
Rampart and contains a pool and jacuzzi for tenants. The building has a prominent base, shaft,
and upper story divided by band cornices. Constructed of poured concrete with cement plaster
detailing, the Arcady has an embellished façade with quoins topped with ornamented capitals
that give the appearance of soaring columns and monumentality. The main facades on Wilshire
and Rampart are decorated in cast stone and have ornamented balconies, plaster crests with
cherubs, and mold surrounds. Some of the arched ground floor storefronts have been enclosed
or had the transom windows painted over, but the form is intact and could be restored. A
number of the windows in the apartments have been enclosed, but the majority of the openings
are extant and it appears that some of the original double hung windows remain intact with
multi-light upper sashes and single light lower sashes. The original Arcady rooftop sign was
removed, but the current sign retains a similar massing.
In addition to the ground floor commercial spaces and ten floors of apartments, the building also
features a lobby, ballroom, mezzanine offices, and a basement. The double-height lobby has
marbled faced piers framed by turned rope molding capped with capitals and exposed stenciled
beams on the ceiling. The ballroom adjacent to the lobby in the north wing has vaulted ceilings.
The upper floors are also mainly intact. Crown molding, wainscoting, and original doors remain
in the corridors and many of the units contain original kitchen cabinetry, moldings, picture rails,
and baseboards.
Albert R. Walker (1881-1958) and Percy A. Eisen (1885-1946) were the principals of their
prolific architectural firm Walker and Eisen from 1919-1941. Both Walker and Eisen were native
Californians. They began their partnership just before the Southern California building boom of
the 1920s and had a huge influence over the built environment in Los Angeles. Some of their
more well-known designs include the 1927 James Oviatt Building (HCM #195), the 1927 United
Artists Theater Building (HCM #523), and the 1926 Hotel Normandie (HCM #1013). The
partnership dissolved in 1941 after 22 years in business during which they 293 buildings
throughout Southern California.
CRITERIA
The criterion is the Cultural Heritage Ordinance which defines a historical or cultural monument
as any site (including significant trees or other plant life located thereon) building or structure of
particular historic or cultural significance to the City of Los Angeles, such as historic structures
CHC-2016-385-HCM
2615 - 2627 W. Wilshire Blvd.
Page 3 of 3
or sites in which the broad cultural, economic, or social history of the nation, State or community
is reflected or exemplified, or which are identified with historic personages or with important
events in the main currents of national, State or local history or which embody the distinguishing
characteristics of an architectural type specimen, inherently valuable for a study of a period style
or method of construction, or a notable work of a master builder, designer or architect whose
individual genius influenced his age.
FINDINGS
Based on the facts set forth in the summary and application, the Commission determines that
the application is complete and that the property may be significant enough to warrant further
investigation as a potential Historic-Cultural Monument.

and relationship to its surrounding environment. Expand on Sections 2 and 3 with a more detailed

The Arcady Apartments, now known as the Wilsh ire Roya le is one of a cluster of early twentieth century
apartment build ings along Wilshire Boulevard, located in the immediate vicinity of MacArthur Park. This
site is a strategic location for apartments, and a key reason the Arcady was built here originally. The
area is now a mixed use node of apartments, offices and mixed-use reta il, with most buildings of similar
scale, and similar to its appearance and character of most of the twentieth century. The Arcady stands
next to the Bryson Hotel, constructed in 1913, but is similar in form and height. There are very few
contemporary buildings that impact the scale of the immediate vicinity, leaving the neighborhood as an
intact representation of its appearance
The Arcady Apartment is a 12 story, U-shaped structure of very typical early twentieth century form ,
with a prominent base, shaft and upper story cornice treatment. The architectural style and design is a
blend of Classical features with formal embellishments and symmetry that represent the Beaux Arts
trad ition and stylistic imagery. The two primary facades, facing W ilshire Boulevard on the south and
Rampart Boulevard to the west, are both considered to be significant and character-defin ing aspects of
the Arcady. The building is constructed of poured concrete with cement plaster surfaces and corners
and fac;ade divisions articulated by quoins molded from cast stone. The base of the building features a
standard ashlar pattern articulated in the cast stone, framing segmental arched openings around reta il
storefronts and the main entrance on Wilshire Boulevard. Projecting ba lconies supported on console
brackets are located at the center of the primary facades at the second story, and are framed by
wrought iron rail ings. Smaller oriel balconies are located on either side of the main balconies, and all
balconies are detailed with cast stone.
At the tenth story, there is a projecting cornice which is visually supported by Classical capitals. There
are also projecting balconies at the
10th
floor level that accent the center of the main facade, and the
two wings that create identical facades on the west side. The detailing establishes the prominence of
these two primary elevations. The U-shaped portion of the building frames a courtyard that opens onto
Rampa rt Boulevard . This location was originally the main entrance, and an elaborate Classical portico
with a formal archway, recessed slightly from the street, connected the two flanking wings. This feature
is clearly documented in historic photographs. It was removed and in filled to create the current
courtyard and pool area, and the main entrance was relocated to the Wilshire Boulevard fac;ade .
The elevation at the apex of the U-shaped courtyard, initially the backd rop for the formal entrance,
remains intact, and is a primary elevation that is visually consistent with the fac;ade of the main wings
that are the current west elevation. Arched openings are symmetrically located around the perimeter of
the courtyard . Each opening contains a multi-paned window that fills the opening, articulated by
heavily-scaled mullions that appear to be original, or are consistent with the overall style and period of
the bu ilding. A pair of doors is centered in each open ing.
There are two add itional stories above the cornice of the building, highlighting the south and west
elevations. These uppermost two stories have canted corners, framed by staggered quoins and
highlighted by an arched window with a molded surround. The cente r of this upper section features
1
round-arched w indows at the twelfth story, connected by spandrel panels to the windows below,
creating an accent for the top portion of the building that is in line with the balconies of the tenth story.
The spandrel section is embellished with a molded plaque. The final roofline of the twelfth story is
topped by a cornice, also supported by molded concrete capita Is and a projecting acroterium motif that
is clearly a reference to traditional Beaux Arts classical design.
The main shaft section of the build ing is a symmetrical arrangement of rectangular window openings
that are incised and ornamented only projecting concrete sills. The windows are symmetrically placed
and evenly sized on the primary elevations. On the secondary elevations, and within the U shaped
interior court, the width of the windows varies . While the openings and overall fenestration pattern is
intact, many of the windows have been replaced over time, replacing many of the original double-hung
wood sash . Each fai;:ade has one bay, in which the window openings have been filled in almost
completely, excepting a space across the top which is fit with a small aluminum sliding window to
accommodate the addition of bathrooms in the units. Certain windows have air conditioning units
added .
The north and east elevations are secondary and not articulated other than by the placement of the
window openings, and the cast stone w indow sills. Other notable features of the building include the
fire escapes on the northwest wing, and the center of the south elevation . The fire escapes are original
to the building. The lower sections of these fire escapes are articulated at the second floor, similar to
the balconies on the corresponding elevations.
The interior of the Arcady is largely intact, reflecting only a few modifications that occurred in 1955,
when the building was converted from apartments to an elderly housing care facility. The interior
consists of the lobby, ballroom, mezzanine offices, ground floor commercial spaces, a basement, and ten
floors of apartment units.
The main lobby opens off of the courtyard to the west which once served as the original entrance to the
building on Rampart Street. Today the entrance has been changed to the Wilshire Blvd. side and the
courtyard serves as a private patio area with a pool and hot tub for its residence. The lobby is a two
story volume, enhanced by exposed piers with marble facing, framed with turned, rope moldings that
rise to Classical capitals at the ceiling level. The ceilings have exposed structural beams, now painted,
and decorated with a stenciled floral pattern . Pendant chandeliers are primary features in the lobby.
The access to the interior plan and primary staircase to the upper story is a partial flight of marble stairs,
with wrought iron railings, all of which represent the elegance of the original interior. The main floors
are ceramic tiles that are consistent with the appearance, but replace and may conceal the original floor
surface.
A ball room or restaurant is located in the north wing on the ground floor, adjacent to the lobby. The
ballroom has a vaulted ceiling and tall windows and glass doors opening to the north side of the
courtyard. The upper portions of the windows have their frames intact, but the glazing has either been
painted over or replaced with an opaque material.
The commercial spaces are five storefronts facing Wilshire Bou levard. The storefronts and original wood
and glass doors are intact in three of the spaces. The space on the corner of Wilshire and Rampart was
originally a cafe . The double-height space has original hanging light fixtures, deep crown moldings,
2
windows and decorative metal grills to the mezzanine level, and the original wood and tile bar intact.
The other spaces also have double-height ce ilings .
The upper stories are accessible by two elevators and an internal staircase, with grey and white marble
treads, that wind through the east end of the building. The upper floors are largely intact. Corridors
feature crown molding near the ce iling and wainscoting composed of wood moldings throughout. The
doorways are framed with wood millwork and original doors in many locations. The door handles and
locks have been replaced with contemporary hardware. The only major change is the installation of
acoustic grid ceilings.
There are studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units in the build ing. The interiors of the living units
feature similar millwork, with plaster walls with molding design with picture rail trim and baseboards.
Most units have kitchens with the original wood cabinetry, and counters with ceramic tile .
The historic integrity of the building is high as it retains many of its original features on the exterior and
interior. The setting of the building is intact. The design by architects Walker and Eisen remains
prevalent despite the alterations to the entrance and the blocking in some window bays. Although the
lobby and ballroom have had their decorative surfaces painted and floors replaced, along with new
corridor surface treatments, the historic feel ing of the building remains intact.

The Arcady Apartments is a master work of Wa lker and Eisen, a prolific architectural firm in the 1920's
with two principals, Albert R. Walker and Percy A. Eisen. The Arcady Apartments was constructed in
1927, at the end of a building period of the mid-1920s that transitioned the area around Westlake Park
into a neighborhood of high class residential apartments. The area was highly desirable because of the
location on the park, and the convenient location between downtown Los Angeles and Hollywood.
Walker & Eisen Arch itects and Engineers (Walker & Eisen} was the preeminent architectural firm in
Southern California during the 1920s to the 1940s. They were especially prolific in Los Angeles designing
many commercial buildings, apartment houses and hotels. The Arcady is a noteworthy example of their
design, and features many similar design elements. Ind ividua lly, The Arcady exemplifies a notable work
of a prominent and influential architectural firm that is largely responsible for the concentration of
Beaux Arts Classical designs in and around the core of downtown Los Angeles. In the context the firm's
work, The Arcady Apartments typifies the traditional Beaux Arts style or the early twentieth century,
and is part of a distinctive collection of other Walker and Eisen buildings that are still prominent and
well-recognized as landmarks in downtown Los Angeles .

Albert R. Walker and Percy A. Eisen established the firm Walker & Eisen in 1919, on the eve of the 1920s
population explosion that more than doubled the number of city residents (from roughly 575,000 in
1920 to over 1.2 million in 1929) (1). In partnership, Walker and Eisen were peers of Allison and Allison,
Parkinson and Parkinson, Albert C. Martin and Associates, Nordstrom and Anderson, and Morgan, Walls
and Clements. Collectively, these firms were responsible for significantly shaping the urban form Los
Angeles.
Together Walker & Eisen were a powerful team. During their productive life they were responsible for
the design of more than 200 buildings. Their work focused on larger scale commercial office buildings,
apartment houses, hotels, and movie theaters. It was through their work on larger structures that the
firm gained recognition . There was a time that Walker & Eisen successfully obtained the bulk of the
contracts in the city. Because of their success they were able to recruit many highly skilled designers,
several who trained at the Ecole des Beaux Arts as well as draftsmen who came from the Beaux Arts
Institute of New York. At the height of the boom the firm employed fifty draftsmen. While both men
shared design responsibilities, Eisen tended to focus on business development using his well-established
connections to secure contracts for the firm. Walker was the creative force primarily focused on guiding
the design effort (2).
While in practice together from 1919 to 1941, Walker & Eisen designed major buildings in the Southern
California region in the cities of Los Angeles, San Diego, Long Beach, Beverly Hills and Palm Springs, and
collaborated on numerous buildings now designated as City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monuments
(HCM) or listed in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP).
Walker and Eisen dissolved the firm in 1941, after 22 successful years in partnership, having designed
293 buildings throughout southern California. During the war years Eisen served with the Air Corps
Procurements Division. Following the war Eisen partnered with Eugene C. Hart, focusing their efforts on
designing residential architecture for returning veterans in the booming post-WWII communities of
Inglewood and the San Fernando Valley. Percy A. Eisen died of a heart attack at his office on November
18, 1946 (3 ).

Both Walker and Eisen were native Californians. Albert R. Walker was born in Sonoma, California, in
1881. After the death of his father and younger sibling, he moved to San Diego with his mother to live
with relatives. He attended a special study at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island, in 1902.
later that year he was back in San Diego working for the firm Hebbard and Gill. His association with
Hebbard and Gill lasted only for one year. He continued his apprenticeship in Los Angeles, first with
Parkinson and Bergstrum and then with A. E Rosenheim, and Hunt and Grey. He ventured out on his
own, establishing his independent practice in 1909 working mainly on residential and ecclesiastical
projects. A year later he partnered with John Terrell Vawter, a graduate of the University of Illinois and
a student of Gustave Umbdenstock's atelier associated with the Ecole des Beaux Arts in Paris (4).
Walker and Vawter worked together for seven years designing buildings around Los Angeles, their most
ambitious being the Italian Renaissance Bible Institute of Los Angeles (1915) on Hope Street. From his
work with Vawter, Albert Walker acquired an appreciation of the Beaux Arts paradigm. Walker and
Vawter dissolved their partnership in October 1917 when Vawter joined the military. Two years later
Walker partnered with Percy A. Eisen to create one of the most important design firms in Los Angeles
during the first half of the 20th Century (5 ).
Percy A. Eisen was born in 1885, in San Francisco, the son and grandson of architects. In late 1885,
Percy's father Theodore Eisen went to work for the San Francisco firm Curlett and Cuthbertson, moving
the family to Los Angeles to work on the firm's projects like the Richardsonian Romanesque Los Angeles
County Courthouse (1891) . Theodore became partner in 1886 forming Curlett, Eisen and Cuthbertson.
Theodore stayed with the firm for a few years and by the 1890s Theodore was working as the City
Superintendent of Buildings, with an office at City Hall (6). By 1898 he was in partnership with Sumner
P. Hunt, working under the name Eisen and Hunt (7). Percy attended public schools and trained
alongside his father to learn the practice of architecture. As early as 1908, Percy was in architectural
practice with his father as Eisen and Son, Architects (8). In this capacity Percy dealt with many of the
city's business people and forged connections that would serve him well in his future endeavors. Percy
left the firm in 1919 to partner with Albert Walker; his father Theodore continued to practice
architecture until his death in 1924 (9).

Building lndu.~try•.f Stability
Offsets Seeming L~.tl
Although falling short of the I
record of twenty-three sky- !
scrapers erected at a cost of
$32,450,000 in 1926, construction annals of 1927 show twenty height-limit building! costing $29,iSO.OOO completed in
Los Angeles and representing
one of the most stable. years
' in the city's building history.
The clement of stability is
evidenced not onlv bv sound
fin:incing and abs.enc~ of in1 fcrior
construction methods,
I but the firm trend is shown by
'[ the decrease in construction
itself. The last rear has been
one of absorption and digestion
of one of the fastest construction paces ever set by a growing metropolis. Instead of
continuing a break-neck course
of building, like that of 1925,
the city has steadied itself by a
year or two in which only
structures, absolutely necessary have been erected. It is
estimated that 85 per cent of
structlires added to the Los
Angeles skyline in 1927 were
erected to meet immediate
and specific demands. Pursuing the same policy, it is declared unlikely that 1928 construction will set any new
.building marks. It will be an
average year,
contractors
agree.
