St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church, Albert C. Martin, Architect 1923-25

            one of the most beautiful churches to be found in the City of the Angels, the church was designed and built by the distinguished firm of Albert C. Martin in 1923-25. The church has influences of the Spanish Renaissance and Mission Style, as well as elements of the Churrigueresque found in Colonial Mexico.
The church is reminiscent of the classical California Building in San Diego's famed Balboa Park, built for the 1915 Exposition by Bertram G. Goodhue. Other outstanding features of the church are a tile dome in vibrant colors and John B. Smeraldi's ceiling decorations.

The church is located at the intersection of Figueroa Street and West Adams Blvd. in the historic West Adams district of Los Angeles. It was declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1971 (No. 90).   Please do not use this image in any media without my permission. © All rights reserved
