Building History

A prominent landmark for tourists, the Automobile Club of Southern California Headquarters, designed by architectural firm Hunt and Burns in the Spanish Colonial Revival Style, blended Mediterranean architectural features with modern American materials and conveniences, seen by some as emblematic of a new Californian architecture. Architect Roland E. Coate, Sr., also worked on the project, as did Aurele Vermeulen, who served as Landscape Architect.
