Title supplied by cataloger. The Hall of Records under construction was designed by Richard Neutra and opened in 1962.; For many years, the Stephen M. White statue was located on the lawn of the Hall of Records. In 1958, it was moved to 1st and Hill streets after the courthouse opened. Nearly 30 years later, it was again relocated to the entrance to Cabrillo Beach, near the Harbor. Mr. White (1853-1901) was a district attorney and US Senator who was responsible for creating the Los Angeles Harbor in San Pedro instead of in the Santa Monica Bay.
