A well-known subject from Julius Shulman today. It's
"Job 3963: Carl Troedson, Tower Apartments (Long Beach, Calif.), 1965". There are two shots in the set, but they're almost identical atmospheric views with the base surrounded by mist, so I picked the one showing a corner of the Villa Riviera.

According to the
International Tower Owners Association website, the tower at 660 Ocean Boulevard was completed in early 1966. It wasn't until the late-80s renovation, and removal of the original circular driveway, that the address was changed to 700 E Ocean Boulevard. The website has a whole page on the history of the tower, including construction photos. I've gone for a 1967 postcard instead.
