This residence of actress Hattie McDaniel in the Sugar Hill Historic District is one of 25 properties that are bound by 22nd Street, 25th Street, Harvard Boulevard, and Hobart Boulevard. This was a neighborhood that was popular among African American celebrities in the 1940s. In 1949, local white residents filed a lawsuit against McDaniel and other African American homeowners nearby. They claimed that the area's property deeds prevented "non-caucasians" from buying homes there. But a local judge ruled in favor of McDaniel, citing the 14th Amendment. McDaniel was also the first African American to win an Academy Award for her role in Gone with the Wind.

" Just around the corner, less than two miles from Eddie Anderson's palatial mansion, we come to Hattie McDaniel's estate. Hattie McDaniel was one of the most popular African-American actresses in Hollywood from the early 1930s-1950. Her house is coming up on the left here....I'll stop the bus in front if anyone wants to take photographs. "

" Wow, that's beautiful! " ( bus passenger )
" Yes sir, it sure is. Ms. McDaniel purchased this home in 1941, but not after a fight. Some of her neighbors complained that there was a 'restricted covenant' in West Adams Heights, dating back to 1902 that prevented the house being sold to non-Caucasians and so she had to fight that lawsuit in court...and she won. Louise Beavers and Ethel Waters were able to save their homes in West Adams because of this action as well.

" There are 17 rooms in all, a large living room, dining room, drawing room, den, butler's pantry, kitchen, service porch, library, and four bedrooms. It was decorated in a Chinese theme. Every year she would hold a big party and many of the legends of Hollywood attended - including Rhett Butler... Clark Gable.
" Hattie McDaniel died several years ago, in 1952, of breast cancer not far from here - at the Motion Picture House. She was 57 years old. "

These towers located in the Watts community of Southern Los Angeles were built between 1921 and 1954 by Italian immigrant Simon Rodia. They serve as a symbol of freedom and creativity for Black and Latino communities nearby. During the Great Depression, the Watts Towers were a gateway for people who moved to Los Angeles, many of whom were African Americans migrating west from the Southern United States. By 1950, over 70% of Watts residents were African Americans, but the community is predominantly Latino today.

The Theme Building at Los Angeles International Airport, which resembles a UFO, is an architectural icon that symbolizes Los Angeles as a young and influential city. Construction was completed in 1961, and the building was designed by the architectural firm Pereira and Luckman, which included African American architect Paul Revere Williams. Williams also designed commercial buildings and celebrity homes in Southern California, was the first African American member of the American Institute of Architects, and served on the first Los Angeles City Planning Commission in 1920.

The Theme Building is an iconic Space Age structure at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX). Influenced by " Populuxe" architecture, it is an example of the Mid-century modern design movement later to become known as " Googie". The Airport Theme Building Exterior and Interior was designated as a historic-cultural monument in 1993 by the city.

The distinctive white building resembles a flying saucer that has landed on its four legs. The initial design was created by James Langenheim, of Pereira & Luckman, subsequently taken to fruition by a team of architects and engineers headed by William Pereira and Charles Luckman, that also included Paul Williams and Welton Becket.

The appearance of the building's signature crossed arches as homogeneous structures is a design illusion, created by topping four steel-reinforced concrete legs extending approximately 15 feet above the ground with hollow stucco-covered steel trusses. To counteract earthquake movements, the Theme Building was retrofitted in 2010 with a tuned mass damper without changing its outward appearance.

Constructed near the beginning of the Space Age, the building is an example of how aeronautics and pop culture, design and architecture came together in Los Angeles.

The original design for the airport created by Pereira & Luckman in 1959 had all the terminal buildings and parking structures connected to a huge glass dome, which would serve as a central hub for traffic circulation. The plan was eventually scaled down considerably, and the terminals were constructed elsewhere on the property. The Theme Building was subsequently built to mark the spot intended for the dome structure, as a reminder of the original plan.

There are conflicting reports to whether the restaurant once had a 360 degree rotating floor when it originally opened. However, that is only legend and LAX officials confirmed the restaurant never revolved, yet because of its appearance and views, many visitors "think it revolves."

The structure was dedicated on June 25, 1961, by Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson. The Los Angeles City Council designated the building, which lies within the Westchester neighborhood of the city of Los Angeles, a historic-cultural monument (no. 570) in 1993.

A $4 million renovation, with retro-futuristic interior and electric lighting designed by Walt Disney Imagineering, was completed before the Encounter Restaurant opened there in 1997. Visitors are able to take an elevator up to the Observation Level to get a 360-degree view of arriving and departing planes.

After the September 11 attacks, the Observation Level was closed for security reasons. Following a $12.3 million restoration of the building completed in 2010, the observation level re-opened to the public on Saturdays and Sundays starting July 10. Additionally, on September 9, 2003, a permanent memorial honoring those who perished in the attacks of September 11 was opened on the grounds of the Theme Building.

The Encounter Restaurant closed for business in December 2013 with no future plans to reopen, although the building's observation level is still open on weekends. Previously, the restaurant was closed in March 2007 for repairs after a half-ton piece of the stucco skin on the upper arches crashed onto the roof of the restaurant, and reopened on November 12, 2007. Delaware North Companies Travel Hospitality Services operated the restaurant. The restaurant being in a non-secure area of the airport, where travelers are reluctant to spend time when a possibly lengthy security checkpoint lay ahead, or leave after being screened and have to go through security again upon returning, was cited as a reason for closing.

In 2018, the Bob Hope USO at LAX relocated to the ground floor of the Theme Building, opening a 7,100 square foot facility described by its president as "the most technologically advanced USO in existence."
