And speaking of double domes, for some reason I decided to check on Elsie McDonald's address, 465 N. Western Ave.
Has this one come up before? What a gem (check out those curved custom tiles). It immediately reminded me of the Janss Dome in Westwood, only on a
much smaller scale:

just above sunset
Turns out it was built as a Janss office in 1928, the year before the Westwood building. Percy Parke Lewis did the N Western Avenue office, and, although he did a ton of buildings and homes in Westwood (
Fox Village Theater,
Chateau Colline et al.), Allison and Allison is responsible for the larger Janss dome.
It's a Buddhist Temple now, but it formerly did duty as Czech-American social hall.
I hope LA Conservancy, or someone, is keeping an eye on it.
