In 1914, this building was occupied by the Hackel and Gutterman Company, producer of cloaks and suits. According to historian Eileen V. Wallis, this sweatshop operation provided a substandard workplace for women employees, paying them low wages and subjecting them to abuse. (See Eileen V. Wallis, Earning Power: Women and Work in Los Angeles, 1880-1930, [Reno, NV: University of Nevada Press, 2010], p. 120.)
