Join the L.A. Conservancy and our Modern Committee on a "magical history tour" of unique sites from the sixties! This one-time-only event offers a rare chance to visit 1960s gems that helped fuel Los Angeles’ growth into a modern metropolis.
You'll drive yourself to each of the official tour stops (carpooling encouraged), at your convenience and armed with a booklet full of interesting sites to see along the way. When you get to an official stop, you'll receive a docent-led tour of the site.
Focused on the South Bay area of Los Angeles, the tour includes:
- The iconic LAX Theme Building, with access to its observation deck for the first time since 2001
- Flight Path Learning Center and Museum at LAX, with a special display of '60s airline uniforms just for tour day
- The former IBM Aerospace Headquarters, designed to resemble a 1960s computer punch card
- St. Jerome Catholic Church, a remarkably intact example of sixties religious architecture
- The Proud Bird Restaurant, a first-rate example of the "destination restaurant" fad popular in the sixties and seventies
The tour is part of The Sixties Turn 50, the Conservancy and ModCom's nine-month program celebrating Greater L.A.'s rich legacy of 1960s architecture. If your organization is holding a sixties-related event between now and June 2010, let us know and we'll add it to our calendar! (E-mail Cindy Olnick at colnick@laconservancy.org).
