The Title Guarantee and Trust Company Building is an Art Deco style highrise building on Pershing Square in Downtown Los Angeles that was built in 1930. The building was designed by The Parkinsons who also designed many Los Angeles landmarks, including Los Angeles City Hall and Bullocks Wilshire. Originally an office building, the structure was later converted into lofts. In 1984, the building was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. This building will be part of the long awaited and planned Park Fifth development in the parking lot behind the building.

Location shots of the building were featured in the CBS television drama series Lou Grant (TV series) (1977-82), in which it was purported to house the Los Angeles Tribune, the fictional newspaper around which the series was based.
