Description
Photograph of a view of the Atlantic-Richfield Plaza in Los Angeles, showing the ARCO towers, 1936-1958. The two tall skyscrapers are in the distance at right and left and are similar in height and shape. Dozens of rows of small windows are broken up by rows of large windows near the top and middle of the two buildings. In the foreground, a row of large bushes obscures the view of the base of the towers. The ARCO towers also housed Bank of America. The Plaza was designed by Albert C. Martin and Associates.
