A photographic chronicle of Los Angeles becoming a modern metropolis

Organized chronologically from 1934 to 1972, this volume gathers roughly 250 photographs by Julius Shulman into a city portrait that extends beyond landmark houses. Residences, offices, factories, shops, churches, schools, and street scenes trace Los Angeles across four decades of expansion and urban change. The sequence begins with Shulman’s image of Richard Neutra’s Sten House and follows a widening view of the city as its built environment and public life develop. It is a focused visual record of architecture in relation to the commercial, institutional, and everyday spaces that shaped modern Los Angeles.
