Join the Art Deco Society of Los Angeles in person to for our signature walking tour of Los Angeles’ iconic Miracle Mile. This historic area retains a fairly high concentration of Art Deco and Streamline Moderne buildings, including ADSLA’s latest nominee for historic cultural monument status, The Sontag Building.
Born in the 1920s, this brainchild of A.W. Ross was conceived as a street to rival the great boulevards of Europe - - elegant and spacious, populated by stylish shops- - and the chicest people! (And this being Los Angeles, plenty of available parking!) A.W. Ross's dream has developed into one of the country's most famous urban enclaves - - featuring a treasure trove of Art Deco
architecture.
