Description

The plaza at the corner of State Street and Anapamu in downtown Santa Barbara was designed by Lockwood de Forest and architect Lutah Maria Riggs. The seating area with trees and benches allows for a brief respite prior to or just after visiting the museum. The Museum was established in 1941 in the old United States Post Office building; the facade was altered by Chicago-based architect David Adler, and financial support was given by many prominent people, including Wright Ludington and Stanley and Katherine McCormick (all were clients of de Forest).
