Architecture sights in Los Angeles

  1. A

    El Pueblo Historical Monument

    Nope, LA didn’t spring from the head of Hollywood directors, it was a full-blown community a good 100 years before DW Griffith showed up. Grab a map at restored Firehouse No 1 (the Plaza Firehouse) then wander through narrow Olvera St’s vibrant Mexican-themed stalls.

  2. B

    Bullocks Wilshire

    Coming from Downtown, first up is the 1929 art deco Bullocks Wilshire , the country's first department store designed for shoppers arriving by car. Unfortunately, it closed in 1992 and is now a law school rarely open to the public.
