Glendale Federal Savings Building

At the Glendale Federal Savings building, constructed in 1968, architects Robert Langdon and Ernest Wilson (Langdon & Wilson) designed fifty-two rainbow-patterned dalle da verre panels using eighteen different colors of one-inch thick glass.

 

The canopy adds a colorful, bright, and exciting crown to the high-rise office building with its glass panels set back between near-white exterior columns.

 

The colorful effect of the cornice is almost invisible as one drives past the building, making it a special experience reserved for patrons entering on the ground floor where Glendale Federal Savings had its office.
