Description:
- Walker and Eisen designed this building in 1928 for businessman James Oviatt and his men's store, Oviatt and Alexander. He had fallen in love with the new Art Deco style on his buying trips to Paris. Most of the fixtures, draperies, stairways, glass fixtures and carpets were made in Paris and then shipped to California. In recent years, architect Brenda Levin has beautifully restored the building. The men's shop is now the restaurant Cicada.
