First Congregational Church of Los Angeles, April 10, 2011

The great Gothic Tower of the First Congregational Church of Los Angeles was rededicated today, Sunday, April 10, 2011. The concrete finials, shown in the foreground, toppled from the tower during one of Los Angeles' earthquakes. They were replaced with a lighter weight plastic material. The church, which was completed in 1933 stands in stark contrast to the mirrored glass Superior Court tower designed by Langdon and Wilson in 1972.
