Thanks for adding your personal pictures of the Oviatt Building,
FW. Those triangular panels around the entrance are beautiful up close.

This rather striking brutalist structure is the Northridge Medical Arts Building at 9535 Reseda Boulevard. It's Julius Shulman's
"Job 4209: Dion Neutra and Paffard Keatinge-Clay, Northridge Medical Arts Building (Los Angeles, Calif.), 1967".
There's one color shot of the exterior.
And one of the interior.

I'm not sure what happened to the Northridge Medical Arts Building! I thought it might have been damaged in the Northridge earthquake, especially when I saw an LA Times article headed
Cal State Northridge Razes Neutra Building. Upon reading the article, I discovered that it referred to a different building designed by Dion's father, Richard Neutra. I'm guessing that the Medical Arts Building survived the earthquake, because an LA Times article called
Brute of a Building describes the brutalist architecture, and makes no mention of damage, despite being published just a few months after the quake.
The overall massing of the current building is the same, and the sloping section on the roof is still visible, but the look is very different. To me, it now looks like those faux-Italianate apartments that have been rightly derided here and elsewhere (I won't give any more publicity to their creator).
