Documents
Permits, certificates, brochures, planning records, directories, leasing plans and wayfinding maps — the public paper trail of the center. Historic mall directories are the highest-value type: each one yields dozens of roster entries with dates attached.
No documents published yet. What we're looking for: period mall directories — each one dates dozens of tenants at once — the original 1964 leasing plan, building permits, and planning records from LADBS or LA City Planning.
The chronology holds what's been established from secondary sources so far, pending exactly this kind of primary record. Contribute a document →
