L.A. Dingbats - Part 2 - Tiki Apartments

In the morning of my second day visiting L.A. in search of Dingbat architecture (here are some photos from the first day) I headed south to Redondo Beach in search of the Tiki Apartments building (389 Palos Verdes Blvd). While early fog presented some annoying lighting challenges, the trip was entirely worthwhile once I beheld those awesome tikis.





Check back tomorrow for more Dingbats - including one that may be the most representative example of this style in L.A.

I love this last shot. Espcially with the mosiac tile in the background. Yeah, their funky, but I hope people take notice and preserve some of these buildings.
