Long Beach Architecture Week: Art Deco and Streamline Moderne Double-Decker Bus Tour #1

Long Beach, CA, United States

d Join noted Art Deco Expert, Author and Art Deco Historic Preservation Consultant John Thomas on a bus tour of Downtown Long Beach. The city is rich with many buildings of Art Deco and Streamline Moderne style from the 1920s and early 1930s, just as there are in many cities across the country. What makes Long Beach unique is the city suffered a devastating earthquake in 1933, a tragedy in which many buildings were lost. Through extensive federal funding, some of which came through the Works Project Administration, the city undertook one of the most expansive building campaigns in its history and Art Deco and Streamline Moderne became the primary styles of architecture to rebuild the city. The styles are reflected in both private and public buildings, including the main post office, schools and hospitals. This very special Art Deco Bus Tour will examine of the finest examples of the styles in the city. Downtown Long Beach will never look the same to you again! On bus refreshments will be provided. Space is limited! Tour Location and parking information will be provided through email to ticket purchasers.
