Historical Data
Located
at
211
W
.
Temple
Street
, The
Los
Angeles
County
Hall
of
Justice
was
built
in
1925
,
designed
by the
Allied
Architects
Association
, a
collective
of
prominent
architects
whose
other
contributions
include
City
Hall
and the
Hollywood
Bowl
. The
historic
fourteen-story
building
was
built
in the
Beaux
Arts
and
Italian
Renaissance
style
with
concrete
floor
slabs
, a
steel
frame
structure
, and an
exterior
of
white
granite
. The
Hall
of
Justice
is
the
oldest
surviving
government
building
in the
civic
center
area
and was the
nation's
first
consolidated
judicial
facility
housing
the
Los
Angeles
County
courts
,
Los
Angeles
County
Coroner
,
Los
Angeles
County
Sheriff's
Office
, the
Los
Angeles
County
District
Attorney
and the
Los
Angeles
County
jail
,
until
it
was
red-tagged
and
vacated
after
damage
from the
Northridge
Earthquake
in
1994
.
It
was
host
to
many
infamous
trials
including
those for
Sirhan
Sirhan
and
Charles
Manson
and
housed
such
notables
as
Benjamin
"
Bugsy
"
Siegel
,
Errol
Flynn
,
Charlie
Chaplin
and
Robert
Mitchum
.
Autopsies
were also
performed
here
including
those for
Marilyn
Monroe
and
Robert
F
.
Kennedy
.
After
the
Northridge
earthquake
,
many
attempts
had been
made
to
renovate
and
re-open
the
Hall
of
Justice
.
It
is
currently
undergoing
a
major
$234-million
renovation
and,
once
open
, will
again
house
offices
for the
Los
Angeles
Sheriff's
Department
and the
District
Attorney
.
Description
Interior
view
of the
main
lobby
west
staircase
on the
second
floor
of the
Los
Angeles
County
Hall
of
Justice
,
looking
west
. With
terrazzo
floors
,
marble
columns
, and
decorative
ceilings
, the
main
lobby
conveys
a
sense
of
grandeur
and
attention
to
detail
and
is
arguably
the
centerpiece
of the
building
.
