Notes
  • Significance: When the City of Los Angeles wanted an impressive and monumental edifice to serve as a symbol of progressivism and modernism, they selected three of the most prominent architects of the period to design the building: John Austin, John Parkinson, and Albert Martin. City Hall was for many years the tallest structure in the city and was an attempt to impart a new building style to the city through its use of the neoclassical skyscraper form. The landscaping and open spaces surrounding the structure serve to make this an important social as well as architecturally important building. The interior spaces of City Hall are remarkable for their carvings, bronze doors, murals, tile mosaics, and ornate lighting fixtures. There are twenty-seven different types of marble found in City Hall. Among numerous other contributions, decoration is by Herman Sachs and Antony Heinsenbergen.
