| Title | Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, La Canada Flintridge, 1929 |
| Description | Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, untitled mural, La Canada Flintridge, 1929. Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy, Administration building, interior lobby, 440 Saint Katherine Drive (near Inverness), La Canada-Flintridge. One panel is of seven Plains Indian men on horseback. The other is a procession of diversely attired people walking along a figurative timeline from an old California mission toward the Los Angeles City Hall (just completed in 1928, the previous year). This property was originally built as a hotel. However, the 1929 stock market crash led to its demise after only two years in operation. Two years later Dominican nuns bought it and turned it into a Catholic girls' high school. 2 panels, approximately 8' x 14' (each), by George Fisher and Desmond Rushton. Sponsored by Flintridge Biltmore Hotel. -- Dunitz, Street gallery, p. 125, #1. |
