213 numbers for Historic Core businesses

The Historic Core is the grid of early commercial streets around Broadway, Spring and Main. The Bradbury Building, known for its open cage elevators, marble stairs and iron railings, opened in 1893, and Grand Central Market has operated on the ground floor of 317 South Broadway since September 1917.

The movie palaces along Broadway date from the same era: the Million Dollar Theatre opened in 1918, the Orpheum in 1926 and the Los Angeles Theatre in 1931. Several now host screenings, concerts, private events and film shoots, and the blocks around them mix restaurants, bars and shops with apartments in older buildings.

Numbers that fit

A year ending, such as 1893 or 1926, can match the date carved over a building's door or the year a business opened. Search the digits to see whether a year is listed.

No 213 number belongs to a particular neighborhood. Since the 2017 overlay, 213 numbers go to lines across the whole 213 and 323 area, not just downtown, and a 213 number on a mobile phone works anywhere.
