Manual Arts High School, John & Donald Parkinson, Architects 1934-35

            The father-and-son team of John and Donald Parkinson produced some of Los Angeles most enduring architecture between 1920 and 1945, including the Master Plan for the campus of the University of Southern California (1919-1937), Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum (1923 & 1930-31), Bullock's Wilshire (1929) and Union Station (1939). The horizontal, parallel details and rounded corners of the school's buildings are evidence of the Streamline Moderne style, a favorite of the firm during the 25-year partnership of father and son.

'The campus buildings are a second incarnation; the firm designed the original school, then also designed the second version which is what we see today.' according to Scott Field, Executive Director of the Parkinson Archives.

Manual Arts High School is located at 4131 S. Vermont Avenue in the West Adams district of Los Angeles.
