In the heart of Long Beach, California, stands a striking Art Deco structure known as the Walker Building that once housed a department store. The building was built in 1929 by Meyer & Holler, who designed the famous Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood just a few years earlier. Decades after its construction, the property was converted into stunning Art Deco–inspired loft apartments—one of which just hit the market.

With high ceilings, Art Deco concrete pillars, and plenty of industrial details, this 1,462-square-foot corner loft is a striking private residence.
