More on Los Angeles City Hall: as one of the most iconic buildings in America, the Los Angeles City Hall opened its doors in 1928. It was the tallest building in the city. Highly anticipated and a cheered by many, and they had not even stepped a foot inside it yet. More than half a million people lined up outside the building to trumpet the emergence of a building which would serve as a signature landmark of a city transitioning from an outpost on the West Coast into a certifiable metropolis. Today, the iconic building houses the mayor’s office and the meeting chambers and the offices of the Los Angeles City Council. It is located in the Civic Center district of downtown Los Angeles in the city block bounded by Main, Temple, First, and Spring streets. Being adjacent to Hollywood, L.A. City Hall has appeared in many Hollywood films and TV programs, from The Adventures of Superman (1938), the original Perry Mason (1950s courtroom drama, TV series), Dragnet (1950s Police drama, TV series), Bad News Bears (1976 film), L.A. Confidential (1997) and the crime thriller, Gangster Squad (2013), to name a few.
The building was designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1976.
