Central Library

The old Los Angeles Central Library is a much beloved landmark in downtown L.A. It was designed in a fanciful Egyptian/Mediterranean Revival style by Benjamin Goodhue (1869-1924). The Rockefeller Chapel at the University of Chicago and the skyscraper State Capitol in Lincoln Nebraska are two of Goodhue's other major projects. (That's the light of wisdom that's shining at the pyramid's peak.)
