Description
Photograph of an artist's painting of the Title Insurance and Trust Company offices and their annex in Los Angeles, ca.1955. Two highrise buildings are shown in full, connected to each other by a narrow strip of three-story building. At center, the widest of the two buildings is pictured, eleven stories tall and flying an American flag from its roof. The second building is shown to the right and is also eleven stories tall, although it does not reach the height of its neighbor. Pedestrians can be seen traversing the sidewalk below. One of several signs along the first floor reads "Christian Science Reading Room".
