This quirky work of art hidden in DTLA has long been obscured from public view. But it may soon be seen again.
The historic Dutch Chocolate Shop, a quirky Los Angeles art treasure long obscured from public view, may soon be seen again.
In a recent incarnation on a dingy block of 6th Street near Broadway, the chocolate-colored tile murals depicting idealized scenes of life in Holland were obscured by the plywood stalls of an arcade where shopkeepers sold socks, VHS tapes and other low-cost wares. The last occupant sold prepaid mobile phones.
The chocolate shop was an early commission for Batchelder, who became widely known as a creator of artistic tiles that were affordable to people of modest means. According to architectural historian Robert Winter, hundreds of homes in Southern California and other parts of the country were endowed with Batchelder fireplaces and fountains.
“Over time, the two owners had a disagreement and closed the opening, which made no second exit,” Jaybush said. “That makes it not a safe building.” That expensive challenge is too much to bear, said the owner, who inherited the property three years ago and asked not to be publicly identified.With the ongoing revival of blocks around the historic Broadway theater district, “the building could be used for a variety of functions including retail, hospitality, office and even residential,” said real estate broker J. Austin Russell, who represents the seller.
