Smith and Williams: United Autoworkers Union building (Los Angeles, Calif.)
Description
Of all Smith and Williams’s buildings, the union structures are the most modernistic. The glass, steel and concrete buildings present forthright, transparent façades to their members and communities. The materials also represent the sleek and modern modes of transportation made by their members: automobiles and aircraft.
