Yorkshire Hotel, also known as Yorkshire Apartments[2] and J. D. Hooker Building,[3] is a historic six-story building located at 710-714 S. Broadway in the Broadway Theater District in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles.
Yorkshire Hotel was designed by Parkinson and Bergstrom, the architectural duo responsible for many buildings on Broadway, including Bullock's Building, Trustee Building, Metropolitan Building, and Broadway Mart Center.[1] Completed in 1909, the building was originally a hotel and cafeteria,[3] and was converted to housing and retail in 1972.[2]
In 1979, the Broadway Theater and Commercial District was added to the National Register of Historic Places, with Yorkshire Hotel listed as a contributing property in the district.[1]
