Historically known as the LA Terminal Market, ROW DTLA and its impressive industrial buildings were designed in part by famed LA architect John Parkinson and built from 1917 to 1923. Sprawled over 30 acres and close to 2 million square feet along the Southern Pacific Railroad, the LA Terminal Market played a critical role in the distribution of produce and goods throughout the region. Today, local grocery distributors continue to meet at ROW DTLA’ s produce market, where they have met in the early morning hours since 1910.
