Description
Designed by Los Angeles architects: Salisbury, Bradshaw and Arthur Taylor and built in 1927, the building was affectionately called the "Public Water Cathedral" because of its monumental Spanish Romanesque style. In January 1991, it became the Fairbanks Center for Motion Picture Study, home of the Margaret Herrick Library of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.
