O.T. Johnson Block, also known as O.T. Johnson Block #4,[3] is a historic three-story building located at 350 S. Broadway in the Broadway Theater District in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles.
O. T. Johnson block was designed as an office building by Robert Brown Young for O. T. Johnson and built by Nathaniel Dryden between 1893 and 1895.[1] [3] [4]
In 1979, the Broadway Theater and Commercial District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with O.T. Johnson Block listed as a contributing property in the district.[1] The building was delisted in 2002 when the district was updated to include an expansion. The delisting notes that the building was entirely covered and that it was unclear what of the original building remained under the covering.[2]
O.T. Johnson Block and its neighbor caught fire in 2007.[5]
O.T. Johnson Block is built of brick and iron with a stone facing and features an Italianate design that includes fluted columns and arched windows. The building originally featured a parapet with ballastrade, but it was removed sometime before 1979,[1] and by 2002, the building had been entirely covered in metal siding that resembled wood shingles.[2]
