Richfield Tower, also known … more This is an amazing sculpture architectural element made in the 1920s for the original Richfield tower. Richfield Tower, also known as the Richfield Oil Company Building, was constructed between 1928 and 1929 and served as the headquarters of Richfield Oil in Los Angeles, California. Haig Patigian did the exterior sculptures. The building was covered with architectural terra cotta manufactured by Gladding, McBean, as was typical of many west coast buildings from this era. In an unusual move, all four sides were covered since they were all visible in downtown. Located at 555 South Flower St. It was once home to one of Los Angeles's most adored architectural building of its time. In the 1960s it made way for what is now the Arco building and unfortunately the developers chose to demolish.

With that being said, we are pleased to present to you some of the very last remnants of the old building with this gorgeous Gladding Mc Bean manufactured terra cotta bust from the top of the tower. Gleaming in the sunlight with its metallic gold finish, to be seen from miles away! I've included original photos of the building. This piece would look wonderful as an architectural element of digital statue in any style home, and gives you a chance to own a wonderful piece of Los Angeles History. The others that were saved were moved into USCSB art museum. less
