Los Angeles City Hall Collection

It is the most recognizable civic landmark in Southern California. Rising white and majestic from the streets of Downtown LA (DTLA), Los Angeles City Hall is a masterpiece of Art Deco and monumental classicism.

Designed by the architectural "dream team" of John C. Austin, Albert C. Martin, and John Parkinson and completed in 1928, it stood as the tallest building in Los Angeles for nearly four decades—the only structure granted an exemption from the city's strict earthquake height limits. Its distinct ziggurat top, modeled after the ancient Mausoleum at Halicarnassus, has made it a Hollywood favorite. To a generation of TV viewers, it is the Daily Planet building from the 1950s Adventures of Superman, and its image was stamped into history as the background for the badge in the classic police drama Dragnet.

This collection celebrates the enduring symbol of Los Angeles, a beacon of 1920s ambition that remains the heart of the city.
