Los Angeles Hall of Justice Reopens!

Shuttered for twenty years following the 1994 Northridge Earthquake, the Los Angeles Hall of Justice is finally reopening. Designed by Allied Architects Association and built in 1925, the structure formerly housed the County courts, sheriff, jail and coroner’s office. HRG was the historic preservation consultant on the project, which included seismic repairs and strengthening, accessibility improvements, recommendations for concept design, code compliance, HABS documentation and reuse for County departments. Substantial funding was provided by FEMA; therefore, the project required close coordination with the California Office of Historic Preservation.
