The Willmore, formerly known as The Stillwell, is a historic apartment building in downtown Long Beach, California. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 20, 1999.[1]
The Willmore was designed in the Renaissance Revival style by Fisher, Lake and Traver,[2] the architects of The Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel. It was originally designed as a U-shaped structure. However, only one wing was completed.[3] The building is designed in the Renaissance Revival and Beaux-Arts styles and constructed with reinforced concrete.[3] It has an underground parking garage.[3][4]
Built in 1925 by the Trewitt-Shields Company, the structure has an L shape with a ten-story wing and an eleven-story wing.[2]
The building's current name honors William E. Willmore,[5] developer of a forerunner to Long Beach, Willmore City, and namesake of the Willmore neighborhood.
