The Los Angeles Times published the article, “Pioneer of the L.A. look: Paul R. Williams wasn’t just ‘architect to the stars,’ he shaped the city.” It’s quite an amazing story about the impressive life and work of Paul R. Williams. Williams was a largely overlooked Black architect who designed an incredible amount of iconic buildings in Los Angeles, including the Golden State Mutual Life Insurance Co. building, the Al Jolson memorial shrine, and the Modernist Crescent Wing of the Beverly Hills Hotel.
What makes Williams such an interesting subject for this blog is that the writing on the side of the Beverly Hills Hotel is “a zingy sign crafted from Williams’ own handwriting”! More, more!
