City Hall of Los Angeles
Government Buildings, Downtown
Fodor's Review:
This gorgeous landmark 1928 building reopened in 2001 after four years of extensive renovation -- which included getting the Lindburg Beacon back in action. The revolving spotlight, inaugurated by President Calvin Coolidge from the White House via a telegraph key, was used from 1928 to 1941 to guide pilots into the Los Angeles airport. During the latest renovation, a worker discovered the discarded light in a city warehouse; now it's back on top of the hall's 13-story tower. There are free weekday tours of the beautifully detailed building at 10 and 11, which sometimes include a visit to the observation deck atop the tower. Reservations are strongly recommended.
