I wondered why this building was listed in as one of ‘263 Key American Buildings’ but it was obvious when I found it was the office and factory of the Charles and Ray Eames for over forty years. They seem like the original hipsters of the industrial back streets of Venice Beach, imagine all iconic furniture and toys that were designed, prototyped and made in this building. Refurbished in 1991, its now a series of small offices reminiscent of Eric Owen Moss’ work reinventing industrial buildings on the other side of LA in Culver City.
