Notes
  • Significance: Originally, and still, one of Sunset Boulevard's most prestigious addresses, Sunset Towers is a fine example of the free-standing skyscraper of the 1920's. The extensive schedule of sculptural decoration is an important part of the building's visual impact and represents an entire array of zig-zag decorative effects: the motifs are adapted from human, animal, bird, floral and mechanical forms. The parking facilities, on the lower levels at the rear of the building, feature spandrel panels decorated with stylized images of automobile grilles of the period.
  • Survey number: HABS CA-2037
