Look familiar? It’s our lovely DTLA Biltmore Hotel!

A true historic gem, the Millennium Biltmore Hotel has been a part of countless iconic moments in LA’s history—from hosting the 1960 Democratic National Convention, where JFK was named the presidential nominee, to being the home of early Oscars ceremonies.

Built in 1923, this architectural masterpiece boasts breathtaking murals, 24-karat gold accents, and stories that span a century, including pivotal LGBTQ+ activism and Hollywood movie magic. Whether it’s its stunning Mediterranean design or fascinating history, the Biltmore remains an LA treasure.

Can you believe it? This is what our beautiful city once looked like!

This image is a 1850 model of Los Angeles as it appeared back in the day. The iconic Los Angeles Plaza sits at the heart, surrounded by landmarks like the Old Plaza Church and the crisscrossing streets of Main, Los Angeles, and Alameda. 🌿 The L.A. River flows through, bordered by lush vineyards and the historic El Aliso tree, a sacred landmark for the Tongva people who once called this land home.

It’s incredible to see how far we’ve come while remembering the deep history that shaped our city. 💛

A special today! 🕰️✨

As we look back on these wonderful Thanksgiving moments in Los Angeles, we’re reminded of the power of community and gratitude. From serving meals to Skid Row residents in 1970, to servicemen celebrating at the Hollywood Canteen in 1943, to a humorous steer enjoying the holiday spirit in DTLA—these snapshots show how Thanksgiving has brought people together throughout history. 🦃💛

This holiday season, let’s honor the traditions of giving and connection that make our communities strong. What are you thankful for this year? Share below! 🍁✨

Our Story

The Historic Core is one of the most diverse neighborhoods in the City of Los Angeles.

Our community is made up of nearly 1:1 market rate and low income housing. The Historic Core was the epicenter of residential growth during the early 2000s with the adaptive reuse ordinance, where previously abandoned or underutilized office and manufacturing was converted to housing. Along with the new units, under the 2005 Residential Hotel Ordinance, thousands of units of low income and permanent supportive housing were preserved.

Our mission is to improve the quality of life of residents, property and business owners in Downtown LA’s Historic Core through clean, safe, and enterprise programs.
