The Catalina Swimwear Building is a six-story Downtown Los Angeles industrial building constructed in 1923. The building has a Neoclassical façade sheathed in a Flemish Bond brick pattern; the sixth story of the building features a projecting balconet, molded stringcourse, and rounded arch windows framed by pilasters and topped by a broken Classical pediment. William Douglas Lee, a prominent Los Angeles-based architect and designer, designed and constructed the building for Pacific Knitting Mills, which became Catalina Swimwear company in 1928. Lee’s other works include the Textile Center Building (HCM #721), the Garment Capitol Building (HCM #930), and the El Royale Apartments (HCM #309). This was Lee’s first major commission as an independent architect and the building reflects the early development of the Garment District in Downtown.
