Home to only about 100,000 people at the turn of the 20th century, Los Angeles was a metropolis of a million and a half by 1940. Since the city's huge growth spurt happened amid the heyday of Art Deco architecture, many of its iconic structures incorporate this lavish, geometric style: City Hall, the Eastern Columbia Building, Griffith Observatory, the gilded movie houses along Broadway, and more. By the postwar period, Art Deco had mostly fallen out of the mainstream. But some modern developments in the ever-growing City of Angels pay homage to the bygone style, like this ornamental arch overlooked by looming palms.
