In 1917, this third building--located on Olympic Boulevard and Rimpau Avenue-- for Los Angeles High School accommodated 1,937 students. The previous Los Angeles High School #2, was a tall Romanesque pile built on Fort Moore Hill in 1882. The Los Angeles architecture firm of Austin and Ashley designed the Los Angeles High School in a Elizabethan/Jacobean Revival idiom popular for schools during the late 1910s and 1920s.

The high school suffered some cosmetic damage during the 1971 Sylmar Earthquake. The tower was weakened most seriously.
