Panorama Building, 312–324 S. Main (post-1890 numbering), with retail shops and offices such as the Olmsted & Wales Panorama bookstore and the
Los Angeles Evening Express offices. In the center of the building was a passage to the back and an exhibition space for a
panoramic painting, debuting in late 1887: a copy of the
Panorama of the Siege of Paris by
Henri Felix Emmanuel Philippoteaux, depicting a battle of the 1870-71
Franco-Prussian War—the last one between the French resistance and Prussian besiegers, which led to the fall of Paris in January, 1871. When attendance dwindled, investors (including local landowner and capitalist
Daniel Freeman) sold the painting to buyers in San Francisco and the rotunda housed at various times the
Empire Stables and "Panorama Stables', with stalls for horses in the former exhibition space., in 1906 it was transformed into a state-of-the-art
roller skating rink, which was unsuccessful. Owner
Adolph Ramish demolished the building in 1907 and the Adolphus (later Hippodrome) Theatre was built on the site. Today the site is a large open-air parking lot. •

New Pershing Apartments, last original two-story 19th-century commercial block left in the Historic Core. The Charnock Block was constructed in two phases, the 5th St. face in 1889 and the Main St. face in 1907. In 1923, it became the Pershing Hotel. It is a rare example of Late Victorian-era commercial architecture and
Second Empire architecture still existing in the Historic Core. The Roma was built in 1904 by Fred L. and Frank M. Lee. In 1989, both buildings were joined and renovated and are now apartments; they are contributing buildings to the "5th-Main Street Commercial Historic District", National Register of Historic Places (eligible 2007). •

Theaters on Main Street While the
Broadway Theater and Commercial District several blocks west is famous enough to warrant constituting a National Register-listed historic district, Main Street was home to dozens of theatres and early cinemas as well. The peak era was the early 1910s, before the more upscale cinema market migrated west to Broadway. There were 27 theaters and cinemas running on Main in 1912. In 1939 there were still 18 operating between 2nd and 9th streets. • Art Theatre, 551 S. Main St. • Banner Theatre, 458 S. Main St. • Bijou Theatre, 553 S. Main St. •
