433 South Spring Street - My visit to downtown LA in 2008 focused mainly on Broadway and a couple of intersecting streets and sadly missed many of the parallel streets holding numerous treasures. This building would be one of those. The two pictures I have were actually taken from the roof of The Judson which butts up against this building. The art deco Title Insurance Building was contstructed in 1928 and designed by John & Donald Parkinson. The front of the structure has some lovely details that can be seen on Google Maps Streetview.

Title Guarantee And Trust - Los Angeles, California
411 West 5th Street - Located on Pershing Square in downtown Los Angeles, this 1930 Art Deco structure was designed by John and Donald Parkinson who also designed the fantastic Bullock's Wilshire. These days it is home to the Title Guarantee Lofts which you might know as the home of the contestants during Season Six of Project Runway.
