L.A.’s Woman’s Building Listed in the National Register of Historic Places
The Woman’s Building at 1727 North Spring Street in Los Angeles was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on September 29, 2026, after the California State Historical Resources Commission voted its support in August. From 1975 to 1991 the building was home to the Feminist Studio Workshop, the nation’s first independent art school for women, and became a major center for feminist and lesbian art, activism, performance and writing.
The building itself is a 1914 Beaux-Arts design by Myron Hunt, built as a Standard Oil sales office. The Los Angeles Conservancy nominated it as a city Historic-Cultural Monument, designated in 2018, and sponsored the National Register nomination, which was prepared by Architectural Resources Group with funding from the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
