#279: Young’s Market Company Building (Westlake)

March 16, 2026
The Young's Market Company Building in Westlake was the flagship store and HQ for a pioneering supermarket chain turned liquor distributor. Its story teaches us a lot about how food and beverage retail evolved in the early 20th century. Despite major interior changes and damage in the 1992 LA Riots, the building itself remains a grand exercise in Italian Renaissance Revival refinement. It's now a shoe store.
