Thornton Abell (1906-1984): Mid-century modern
Description
An account of the resource
Thornton Abell graduated from the University of Southern California with a degree in architecture, and worked for the well-known firm Marsh, Smith & Powell throughout the 1930s. During the 1940s and 1950s, Abell taught at the Chouinard Art Institute and at the University of Southern California’s School of Architecture. In 1948 Abell was asked by John Entenza to design Case Study House #7 for the magazine Arts and Architecture. He was not as well known as some of his peers, however his residential work in the mid-century modern style is a superb blend of indoor-outdoor living, glass walls, and natural accents.

Title
A name given to the resource
Thornton Abell: Bank of America (Los Angeles, Calif.)
Description
An account of the resource
In addition to private homes, Abell also designed schools, stores, and other commercial buildings such as this bank on Larchmont in Los Angeles. The clean and simple facade, overhanging roof, and ample off-street parking have survived the 40+ years since its construction. The changing of a few exterior colors and the growth of trees surrounding the building are the main changes to the exterior.

Description
