Opened in 1929, the elegant Art Deco Bullocks Wilshire department store quickly became the city’s premier shopping destination for generations of Angelenos.  After the store closed in 1993, the building's fate hung in the balance until neighboring Southwestern Law School purchased it for campus expansion, painstakingly restoring the building's historic elements and adapting it for state-of-the-art academic use.  The project exemplifies preservation at its finest, earning the Conservancy’s esteemed President’s Award in 2005.

Join us for a singular opportunity to revisit the Bullocks Wilshire experience as we celebrate thirty years of historic preservation in Los Angeles.

• Shop in the silent auction boutique.
• Dine on hors d’oeuvres inspired by the original Bullocks Wilshire Tea Room menu.
• Admire the vintage fashions modeled by live mannequins.
• Savor the exquisite interior design of an Art Deco masterpiece.

An evening in this beloved Los Angeles landmark is a very rare treat, as it is now closed to the public.

Space for dinner is limited.  Please reserve early to avoid disappointment.
