Originally dedicated in 1928, the grand building was on the way to demolition following the devastating earthquake of 1994. A group of concerned citizens and civic leaders mounted a campaign for the complete restoration, thus preserving an essential part of the history of Los Angeles for generations to come.

In 2002, after nearly 10 years and millions of dollars, City Hall finally re-opened to the joy of all. This book tells the full story of the birth, growth and restoration fo that building – a story befitting a great international historic symbol of America’s first modern city.
