This is NOT City Hall. This is the north side of The Million Dollar Theater in downtown Los Angeles.
It opened in 1918 and I don't know much about its history.
It has been a Spanish language theater since the 1950's and also served as a Spanish language church at one time.
The front of the building faces east, but the facade is marred by an intrusive after-market marque, so I chose the unobstructed north side for my shot.
Can you say "ornate"? Wow!
Well wow was the first word out of my mouth followed closely by intricate. There are a lot of hours carved into that facade. Stunning building even though my taste leans towards simplicity
