The architecture firm of Norstrom & Anderson seems to have been very active in L.A. from the mid '20s into the latter half of the '30s. It looks like not a lot of their buildings survive, though one that does is well known:


1932

1955

1968

GoogleSV 2011


El Paseo, Westwood. The backstory:

A couple of other Norstrom & Anderson survivors:


2121 San Fernando Rd (1936):

Originally built for the Hemphill Diesel Engineering Schools


6809 Stanford Ave (1937):




Does anyone know if this Westwood Newberry's still stands, if it was ever built?

No picture, but same question about a small store N&A is reported to have built at 1254 3rd Street in Santa Monica in 1937... couldn't get a street view, but a Google Sat view indicates that it might have Streamline detailing.


Another unknown:

These were reported to have been planned, but if built, do not now stand:





The following were reported to have been designed and soon to be erected, but all seem to be gone now:

952 Wilshire
3170 Wilshire
615 N Alameda
423-27 Santa Monica Blvd SM
8850 Santa Monica Blvd
9585 Santa Monica Blvd
