OK, here's part 2 of my Palisades High School post. This is
"Job 3339: Adrian Wilson and Associates, Palisades High School (Los Angeles, Calif.), 1962." Dating from a year after yesterday's post, it shows the completed school. I've only picked a selection of photos - the full set contains five more. We start with this panoramic shot which I've had to lighten. Next to the lamppost on the right is a sign for the Mayfair Market sticking up into the sky - I'll return to it at the bottom of the post.
A closer look at the buildings, track and football field.
It's difficult to tell from the photos here, but I think this is the northern end of a tunnel leading under the road to the sports field.
The simple, shallow zig-zag roofs continue across all the buildings.
Even in 1962, the campus already contained quite a bit of vegetation.
Just like Providence High School, this site has wide, open, gentle stairs.
This is the only interior shot in the set. I'd have liked to have seen some classrooms.

The school still stands at 15777 Bowdoin Street, Pacific Palisades. Compare this shot to the third image above. If you ignore the modern vehicles and students' dress, very little has changed

Finally, I found this 1955 image of the Mayfair Market that I mentioned above. Located on Sunset Boulevard, it's now a branch of Gelson's.
