The Heinsbergen Decorating Company Building, also known as the AT Heinsbergen & Company Building, is a historic building on

Los Angeles, California, United States. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places
in 1984.

Architecture

Frieze and detailing above the main windows with Claire Pettibone word-mark.

The castle-like building was built in 1928 for noted muralist

Curlett & Beelman in a Late Gothic Revival and Romanesque style. The building's notable features include the prominent cylindrical tower, a Renaissance-style mural in the tower arch, and the detailed friezes displaying artisans at work. At least 11 buildings designed by architect Claud Beelman have been listed on the National Register. The building was constructed while Heinsbergen was employed to create murals for Los Angeles City Hall, and he had his building on Beverly Boulevard built using bricks from the old city hall.[3]

History

The building served as the office for Heinsbergen's mural-painting business for more than 50 years.

Wiltern Theatre, the ceiling of El Portal de La Paz Mausoleum at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier and the Park Plaza Hotel.

Entrance at the base of the tower.

After Heinsbergen died, his children continued to operate the business at the Beverly Boulevard building, in many cases working to restore murals that their father had designed decades earlier.[4]

The Heinsbergen Building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

The building was later converted to retail space and was occupied by "Lloyd Klein Couture", the West Coast store for New York fashion designer Lloyd Klein.[5] Klein's customers include Nicole Kidman, Renée Zellweger, Gwen Stefani and Kate Beckinsale.[6] Though Klein's name was prominently featured on the building, the name "Heinsbergen Decorating" is still seen above the door at the base of the tower.

After 12 years at the Beverly Hills location on Robertson, fashion designer Claire Pettibone's Flagship Salon has moved and now occupies the Heinsbergen Building and is officially open as of July 10, 2013.
