Building Notes

A 1937 advertisement for the Portland Cement Association featured the Helms Bakeries Factory in Los Angeles, CA. It stated: "The Helms Bakeries building on Washington Boulevard, Los Angeles, affords another example of how concrete combines structural and architectural functions. The monolithic concrete walls are finished with stucco. Lintels, window and door trim, coping and other details are cast stone, set in forms and concrete in place. Both stucco and cast stone are made with white portland cement. Grant & Bruner, Ltd., Los Angeles, were the archtiects." (See "Concrete A Versatile Medium for Architectural Expression Portland Cement Association Advertisement," Architectural Record, vol. 82, no. 2, 08/1937, p. 144.)
