| dc.description | Overall three-quarter view, Fifth St. to the left, S. Grand Ave. to the right; Originally the home of a utility company, the Southern California Edison Company Building was one of the first all-electrically heated and cooled buildings constructed in the western United States. The fourteen-story, steel-framed building follows a classically inspired Art Deco design. The lower three stories are of solid limestone, while the upper stories and central tower are faced with buff-colored terra cotta. On the entry façade allegorical figures by sculptor Merrell Gage represent, light, power and hydroelectric energy. The exterior greenhouse-like structures were added in the 1980s and the street-level shopping corridor in 1993.
