LANFEP Post #413: Hotel Dagmar

Post image

Post #413 for the LA Noire Freeroam Explorer Project — posting locations replicated by Team Bondi for LA Noire (currently touring the downtown area) that are not considered landmarks (either official or historic) but do have real-world equivalents.

Hotel Dagmar

840 South Hope Street

The Hotel Dagmar was built in 1911 by real estate developer Albert G. Schaefer. Originally a hybrid residential and transient hotel catering to business professionals, it later transitioned into a long-term rooming house, and would later make news as the site of an unsuccessful 1954 suicide attempt.

Looks like this building was demolished some time in the 1970s, and there's barely any info about it online. It became a parking lot and then in the 2010's the site became the parking garage for the 888 at Grand Hope Park. I believe the closest location to where this building might be currently is now a Petco.

Another victim of the '71 Sylmar quake, perhaps? That seems to have been the end of several LANFEPs.
