The Miracle Mile Art Deco Walking Tour

Born in the 1920s, this brainchild of A.W. Ross was conceived as a street to rival the great boulevards of Europe - elegant and spacious, populated by stylish shops- and the chicest people! (And this being Los Angeles, plenty of available parking!) A.W. Ross's dream has developed into one of the country's most famous urban enclaves - featuring a treasure trove of Art Deco architecture. This sidewalk safari is led by Eric Lynxwiler, noted author and historian of the Miracle Mile. The tour begins at the Stiles Clements-designed, black and gold terra cotta bank building at 5209 Wilshire.
