Everyone knows that L.A. is a glamorous city. But few know that true Old Hollywood glamour lies in the streets of Downtown L.A. This walking tour will focus on the Jazz Age elegance of Art Deco. Its clean lines and geometric patterns proved a perfect style for L.A. in the 1920s and ‘30s, and an extraordinary collection of these masterpieces still stands in the heart of the city.

In a stroll through one of the jazziest parts of town, you’ll marvel at the incredible detail of these structures, with their brilliant colors and lush materials. You’ll learn how Art Deco made its way to L.A., and why it became such a defining architectural style in the city.
