	Los Angeles Downtown Visitors Guide; Architecture
		Downtown is a bastion of architecture and progress, from its threadbare but still glamorous Broadway theaters to its civic monuments to the steel and glass skyscrapers that now dwarf City Hall - once the tallest building in Los Angeles.
		As a result, most of the architecture in the brick and terra cotta structure has been relatively well preserved, including the lustrous white marble corridors, ornate cast-iron stair railings, hand-painted mosaic tiles and Romanesque arches.
		Though not much to look at architecturally, this 1970s steel and glass structure is fun to pass by and recall some of the high-profile cases that have been tried here, notably the OJ Simpson murder trial.

		In 1876, at the British Pavilion of the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition, American designers discovered the work of an English architect named Richard Norman Shaw.
		Shaw had been specializing at the time in a style of half-timbered architecture that was presumed to have originated during the early 18th-century reign of Queen Anne.
		Architects were free for the first time in history to arrange rooms of varying sizes without consideration of how the rooms would fit within timber frames.

	Colonial Revival Architecture
		The trend toward period architecture gained momentum from the 1893 Chicago World's Fair, the Columbian Exposition, where historical interpretations of European styles were encouraged.
		Simultaneous to the rise of period-style architecture, the modern era saw its beginnings with architects who were instead looking to the future, not the past, with more progressive, modernist styles.
		Thus defines the eclectic movement of the early 20th century, which consisted of a simultaneous and perhaps competing interest in both modern and historic architectural traditions.

		The actual construction of the monument began in 1848 and was not completed until 1884, almost 30 years after the architect's death, due to lack of funds and the intervention of the Civil War.
		A difference in shading of the marble (visible approximately 150 feet up) clearly deliniates the initial construction from its resumption in 1876.
		It is generally considered fortunate that the Greek Doric rotunda Mills planned for the base of the monument was never built.
