Photographs of buildings by Los Angeles architects. [ca. 1945-1955]

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/664321339

The photographs, primarily of mid-twentieth century Los Angeles area domestic architecture, were taken by C. Gregory Walsh while he was a student at the USC School of Architecture. Many of the photographs show buildings of recent construction, as evidenced by minimal landscaping and the lack of surrounding homes. Architects represented include Richard Neutra, John Lautner, A. Quincy Jones, Craig Ellwood, Gregory Ain, and Lloyd Wright. There are photographs of the Ellwood and Whitney R. Smith designed houses in the Crestwood Hills community. Also included are photographs of Frank Lloyd Wright buildings that Walsh took on a trip to the Chicago area and Wisconsin.

235 photographic prints : gelatin silver ; 7.6 x 11.5 cm. and 43.2 x 61 cm. or smaller.
