The Foreman & Clark Building is a historic building on the corner of Hill Street and 7th Street in Downtown Los Angeles, California, U.S.. It was built in 1929 to host the flagship store and corporate offices for clothing retailer Foreman & Clark, which occupied the building until the 1960s.[1] The building, designed by the architectural firm of Curlett & Beelman, combines elements of Art Deco and Gothic architecture.

The building was purchased in March 2016 by , a Canadian development company, for $52 million, and the former office space will be covered into apartments.[2][3]

The building was named a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 2009.[4]
