LOS ANGELES CITY HALL

The architects may not have had it in mind, but L.A.'s City Hall is famed as a co-star in the classic tv series Dragnet and Adam-12. The mayor's office and the L.A. City Council's meeting chambers are located in this center for the government of the City of L.A. Completed in 1928, there are 32 floors with a public observation level on the 27th floor. The concrete in its tower was made with sand from each of California's 58 counties. In 1976 the site was designated an Historic-Cultural Monument.
