From Spring Arcade Building

The Spring Arcade, built in 1924, is a unique two-tower building, which spans the length of Spring Street to Broadway, in the heart of the Historic Core of Downtown Los Angeles. Once the location of Mercantile Place, a small alley lined with independent retail shops that opened in 1904, the Arcade was designed by architects Kenneth McDonald and Maurice Couchot with the intent of maintaining the Mercantile alley’s storefronts and ambiance. These two, back to back towers, are connected by a three level arcade covered by a glass-roofed skylight dome, fashioned after the grand 19th century shopping arcades of Paris and London. In particular, the glass-roof skylight was designed to imitate the Burlington Arcade in London.
