Thornton Abell: Bank of America (Los Angeles, Calif.)

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.
