Heinsbergen.","why_significant":"The building is tied to Anthony B. Heinsbergen, a major interior designer and muralist with about 750 commissions, and to its designers, the architects Curlett and Beelman. It is also significant for its picturesque, castle-like medieval design, salvaged brick, and finely crafted cast stone ornament. It has remained unaltered since 1928.","narrative":"Built in 1928 at 7415 Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles, this studio and office building was designed by the architects Curlett and Beelman for interior decorator and muralist Anthony B. Heinsbergen. It rises two stories at the front and three at the rear, and its design imitates a medieval castle, with a corner tower, a simulated moat and a drawbridge-style walkway. The walls use narrow brick salvaged from buildings demolished for Los Angeles City Hall. The cast stone ornament was deliberately chipped to look aged and includes a frieze of medieval artists and artisans. Heinsbergen completed about 750 commissions, among them the Hollywood Pantages and Wiltern Theatres and City Hall interiors. The building is notable for that association, for its architects, and for the quality of its design, materials and workmanship. The exterior has remained essentially untouched, and the Heinsbergen company has occupied the building since it was completed.","period_of_significance":"1928","architect_builder":"Curlett and Beelman","architectural_style":"Romanesque and Gothic-style motifs in a picturesque, medieval design","criteria":[],"status_note":"Described as in excellent condition, virtually unaltered since construction, and still occupied by the Heinsbergen decorating, planning and design studios and offices.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:27.638683-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/84000873.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84000873/a67b287e18-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/84000873/a67b287e18-1600.webp","licence":"CC BY-SA 3.0","author":"CPGT clairepettibone","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Clairepettibone_flagship_salon_01.jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">CPGT clairepettibone</a>, <a href=\"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0\" rel=\"license noopener\">CC BY-SA 3.0</a>, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Clairepettibone_flagship_salon_01.jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123859188","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinsbergen_Decorating_Company_Building","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q15223498"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/los-angeles-county/heinsbergen-decorating-company-building-84000873/"}
