Funny, I was just thinking of posting an LA City Hall love thread. Just go on flickr and search for Los Angeles City Hall. There's some phenomenal interior shots- I love that rotunda floor
This building is a spectacular example of a civic monument- the pride and idealism of its builders and designers oozes from every pore of its terra cotta hide.
After the damage suffered in the Northridge quake, we're lucky City Hall is still with us. The building took severe damage, and there were many who wanted to tear it down(!). Fortunately they didn't get their way, and after a massive seismic retrofit, this beautiful skyscraper is still here, and will be for many years more.
