Modern eclectic Venice California Architecture tour walk

Using the Los Angeles Conservancy pamphlet, I took a tour of the modern eclectic architecture in Venice California. https://www.laconservancy.org/events-tours/self-guided-tours

Abbot Kinney, a business man opened the seaside resort called Venice in1905. The resort lasted about 20 years until the Great Depression hit. Venice became a place of cheap rent where creative people like the beatniks of the 1950 and the hippies of 1960 settled. This bohemian community slowly became a desired place to live and the cost of housing increased with the demand from the people in the entertainment industry to today with the people of the digital tech companies that are developing along the coastal areas of Southern California called "Silicon Beach".

Historically significant innovative architecture can be seen. Prominent modern architects who designed the buildings in Venice include: Frank Gehry, Frederick Fisher, Steven Ehrlich, Frank Israel.
