The ''Bible House of Los Angeles'' was a publisher and distributor of bible study materials founded in 1898 by Lyman Stewart (1840-1923), in 1908 a founder of the Biola/Talbot schools; and A.B. Prichard, both Presbyterians, initially targeted at distributors in 20 Spanish speaking countries, including many PB. It was a publishing extension of a short-lived Los Angeles Bible Institute (1901-1903) which Prichard administrated, and William Blackstone served (starting in 1902) as a Bible and prophecy teacher.<sup>1</sup>. Ralph D. Smith served as administrator of the publishing side after the school closed.
In 1904, there was an open brethren (OB) assembly meeting at 330 1/2 Broadway as the [[Los Angeles Bible Institute Hall, CA|Los Angeles Bible Institute Hall]] which may have been a headquarters for the Bible House as well. It was also listed as Room 505, Mason Building, cor. Fourth & Broadway (perhaps same address).
