Culver and designed by Curlett and Beelman.","why_significant":"The building is tied to Harry H. Culver, founder and promoter of Culver City, who kept his offices there from 1924 to 1933 while the city grew and expanded. It is also the largest and most ornately designed Renaissance Revival commercial building in Culver City.","narrative":"Rising six stories above a downtown of two-story buildings, this hotel and office block fills a wedge-shaped lot at Main Street and Washington and Culver Boulevards in Culver City. Completed in 1924 for city founder Harry H. Culver, it was designed by the Los Angeles firm Curlett and Beelman in the Renaissance Revival style, with red brick walls, cast stone ornament, arched ground-floor windows and a tile-clad false mansard roof. It was the largest structure in the city when built and served as Culver's real estate headquarters from 1924 to 1933, a period when many city facilities were built and its boundaries expanded. The building is considered significant for that association and as the city's most elaborate example of its style. It has been used continuously as a hotel with offices and shops. A recent rehabilitation restored the tall lobby, Culver's office suite and the cast stone, and added seismic reinforcement.","period_of_significance":"1924-1933","architect_builder":"Curlett and Beelman","architectural_style":"Late 19th and 20th Century Revivals: Renaissance Revival","criteria":["B","C"],"status_note":"In continuous use since 1924 as a hotel and office/commercial building; recently rehabilitated according to the Secretary of the Interior's Standards.","vacant_flag":false,"machine_generated":true,"model":"claude-sonnet-5-5","prompt_version":"v1.0-2026-10-29","generated_at":"2026-10-29 02:54:27.587324-05","source_pdf":"https://s3.amazonaws.com/NARAprodstorage/lz/electronic-records/rg-079/NPS_CA/97000296.pdf"},"photo":{"url_800":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/97000296/6bf7366a30-800.webp","url_1600":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/media/97000296/6bf7366a30-1600.webp","licence":"Public domain","author":"Tichnor Brothers, Publisher","credit_html":"<a href=\"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Culver_City_Hotel,_Culver_City,_California_(78506).jpg\" rel=\"noopener\">Tichnor Brothers, Publisher</a>, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons","source_page":"https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Culver_City_Hotel,_Culver_City,_California_(78506).jpg"},"district":null,"sources":{"nps_snapshot_date":"2026-05-22","nara_catalog":"https://catalog.archives.gov/id/123859057","wikipedia":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culver_Hotel","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q3699364"},"indexable":true,"url":"https://nationalhistoricalregister.com/california/los-angeles-county/culver-hotel-97000296/"}
