The property is currently developed with one commercial building, which was constructed in 1922. The subject property has not been previously surveyed; it was not included in the City of Los Angeles’ citywide survey, SurveyLA, nor is it included in the Historic Property Data File for Los Angeles County, updated to 2011. Based on a site visit, review of building and alteration permits, and available information on the building’s history, the subject property does not appear eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (National Register), the California Register of Historical Resources (California Register), or as a local City of Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument (HCM). The subject property is located adjacent to 511 East 6th Street, the former El Rey Hotel, which was identified in SurveyLA as appearing eligible for listing in the National and California Registers, and as a local HCM as “an excellent example of a 1920s hotel in Downtown Los Angeles, exhibiting essential characteristics of the property type; reflects early patterns of commercial development to the east of Los Angeles’ central business district.” The El Rey Hotel is considered for the purposes of this analysis a historical resource under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
