Originally a branch office of the First Citizens Savings Bank and Trust, the architecturally historic
landmark that now houses Fais Do Do was constructed in 1930 at the height of the Art Deco period in Los Angeles. As Los Angeles spread west, eastern industrialists, silent filmmakers, and other earlyhipsters took over the tiny Mid-City area which soon became known as the Sugar Hill District.
