Victor Clothing Company Building
Victor Clothing Company, formerly City Hall North, also known as Hosfield Building and Victor Clothing Lofts, is a historic five-story building located at 242 S. Broadway in the Broadway Theater District in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles.
The Victory Clothing Company building was designed by Robert Farquhar Train and Robert Edmund Williams for Mr. & Mrs. J.F. Hosfield and built in 1914. The building was originally built as a City Hall annex, but by 2002 it contained ground-floor retail, second-story mezzanines for storage, and lofts on the third through fifth stories.
In 1964, Victor Clothing moved into the building and made it their headquarters.
From the mid-1970s to 1984, three large murals were added to the building's exterior. They are:
A fourth mural was added to the building sometime between 1985 and 2001.
In 2014, The Pope on Broadway was restored at a cost of $150,000 ($199,234 in 2024), spearheaded by the Los Angeles Mural Conservancy and paid for by Greenland USA.
Victor Clothing Company was not listed in the National Register of Historic Places's Broadway Theater and Commercial District when it was first created in 1979, but it was included when the district was expanded in 2002.
The building was put up for sale in 1995 and sold to Nathan Korman in 2001. All tenants, including Victor Clothing, were evicted following the sale, after which the building's upper floors were converted to live/work lofts. Korman said that he bought the building in part because of its murals, which he wanted to preserve.
