View of Hotel Trinity entrance, with Pacific Drug Co. at 851 South Grand Avenue, corner of 9th and Grand, behind it. Built in 1913 by architect Thornton Fitzhugh, the Hotel Trinity, aka Trinity Auditorium (now known as the Embassy Hotel and Auditorium), was owned and operated by Los Angeles Investment Co. Over the years, it has served as a hotel, a church, a concert hall, and a university residence. When it was the Trinity Auditorium building, three stories were used for church purposes and 325 rooms above that were used as a hotel for men. The 2,500-seat auditorium, boasting as having one of the finest pipe organs in the west, was used by Trinity for church functions on Sundays and was available for rent at other times for concerts, lectures, conventions, etc. In the 1980s, the University of Southern California purchased the building, using it for several years as a residential college.
