The Title Insurance and Trust Company was a title insurance company based in Los Angeles. The company was known for accumulating a notable collection of historic photographs (now in the collection of the California Historical Society) and commissioning writers, such as W. W. Robinson, to write a series of pamphlets about the history of regions and neighborhoods in Southern California.[1][2]
The Title Insurance and Trust Company building at 433 S. Spring Street, its third sequential headquarters building, was used by the company from 1928 to 1977. It is recognized as an architecturally significant building of downtown Los Angeles.[3][4] Prior to 1928, the company had offices at 401–11 and at the northwest corner of 8th and Hill, now the site of the }Garfield Building, and at the northeast corner of 8th and Hope and Eighth.[5]
