"1957 Original Slide Los Angeles Police Administration Building" (later the Parker Center)
eBay
Groundbreaking for the Center occurred on December 30, 1952, and construction was completed in 1955. The architect was Welton Becket.
The building combined police facilities that had been located throughout the Civic Center area. The location was previously home to the Olympic Hotel.
The building was a state of the art facility, and the envy of other police departments across the nation. So great was the demand for public tours that the Department
assigned policewomen full-time for the first year to give tours several times a day.
It was later renamed in honor of Chief William H. Parker, who died in office on July 16, 1966 from a heart attack. Chief since 1950, he helped establish the LAPD’s reputation
as a world leader in law enforcement."
The building was closed in 2013.
