Description
View of the west side of Los Angeles City Hall as seen when construction was completed and landscaping had not been added. The building, designed by associated architects Austin, Parkinson, Parkinson and Martin, is a Goodhue-esque structure with classical detailing at the base (Greek freize main entrance, in Roman arcade), with a moderne campanile-like tower influenced by Ziggurat construction. Its steel frame is clad in granite-pattern terra cotta, on California granite base.
