This Altadena field trip is a fun one filled with mid-century and modernist gems - a library, a couple of modernist homes, including a case study house, a progressive neighborhood and some roadside church architecture to round it out.

Architecture Field Trip - Burbank

Every six weeks or so I have an appointment in Burbank and try to visit a site of architectural interest in the area or along the way.
