Go anywhere in Los Angeles and bask in the architectural richness that can only be found in LA.
One of my personal favorites is the Griffith Park Observatory. In 1896, Griffith J. Griffith donated 3,000+ acres to the city and in his will (he died in 1919), funding was donated for construction of the observatory. The structure, based on the original design of Russell W. Porter was developed by architects John C. Austin and Frederick Ashley, and completed in 1935.
In 2002, the Observatory underwent a massive restoration effort and expansion, reopening to the public in 2006.
Los Angeles has such a richness of architecture. Thank you for showcasing all that the city has to offer architecturally. I look forward to future blogs and getting notifications of architecture-related events.
