Los Angeles City Hall
Since 1928
Los Angeles City Hall, completed in 1928, is the center of the government of the city of Los Angeles, California, and houses the mayor's office and the meeting chambers and offices of the Los Angeles City Council. It is located in the Civic Center district of downtown Los Angeles in the city block bounded by Main, Temple, First, and Spring streets, which was the heart of the city's central business district during the 1880s and 1890s.
It was the tallest building in Los Angeles from 1928 until 1966 and remains the tallest base-isolated structure in the world.
