The architecture and interior design of the 1920's and 1930's Los Angeles is celebrated in this delightful photographic tour of fabulously detailed residential, commercial, and public buildings. The distinctive Southern California version of the Art Deco style is revealed, from Hilltop Griffith Observatory to the houses designed by Lloyd Wright. An insightful introduction by the respected architectural historian David Gebhard discusses the history of the style as it was adopted in the sunny, rather sleepy region during the early decades of the twentieth century.
