I've never seen a shot where the future Civic Park was still a parking lot, thanks!

Love the Moorish influences, it's one of my favorite architectural styles.

Spanish-Moorish revival. Quite beautiful.


I'm looking for good pictures of the City Council Meeting room and the Mayor's office.

Here's the 1984 Olympics torch, pic I took.

A gem. Another example of how deco can mix nicely with the Mediterranean styles. Probably the best way to take those styles into high-rise construction.

It's truly an architectural gem... I was wondering if there was criticism from the public when it was being built as it happens today with any new construction. I have been looking in the web for any historical document in this regard but haven't come across anything yet.
