A visit to the Japanese Garden
in Woodley Park, San Fernando Valley
The traditional Japanese garden landscape was designed by Koichi Kawana. Created from 1980 to 1983 and dedicated in 1984.
Hiding and beautifying parts of
the Tillman waste water treatment plant.
This is also a worthwhile site to
see some excellent Postmodern concrete architecture.
The 1984 plant was the work of Anthony Lumsden of DMJM aka Daniel, Mann, Johnson and Mendenhall architecture.
Their structures can be found in many areas of Los Angeles.
Another favorite DMJM work of ours is the American Cement Building on Wilshire Blvd. near
MacArthur Park.

A visit to the Orcutt Ranch.
23600 Roscoe Blvd,
West Hills, CA 91304

Description taken from Los Angeles Dept of Parks and Recreation;

“Orcutt Ranch was the vacation and retirement estate of William Warren Orcutt, who purchased the property 1917. The 3,060-square-foot residence, with its Spanish Colonial Revival Style and Mission Revival Style architecture, was completed in approximately 1926. It features glazed tiles from Mexico and carved mahogany and walnut from the Philippines. Visitors are surprised to find that the design of the home prominently incorporates bas-relief Sw****ka architectural decoration. The symbol chosen due to its connection with Native American traditions, and well before the N***s turned it into a symbol of anti-Semitism. The historic property features not only the Spanish-style adobe residence with an abundance of gorgeous, architectural features but extensive gardens including a seasonal rose garden, a large variety of plants and trees, including a historic 700 year old oak tree, creeks, nature trails, fruit orchards, a rustic barn, courtyard and gazebo.”
