Beverly Hills City Hall Photo

A scenic picture of the Beverly Hills, California City Hall located in downtown Beveryly Hills on the outskirt of Los Angeles. The Beverly Hills City Hall has gracefully presided over the city's civic life since 1932. Architect Willliam Gage created the Spanish Renaissance building in typical government style of that era. The beauty of the building, with its tiled dome and gilded cupola, soon transcended the typical government building and has become a beloved local landmark of Beverly Hills. The city of Beverly Hills was wealthy and famous long before it was discovered by the movie industry. At the beginning Beverly Hills was blessed with a commodity more precious in Southern California than jewels: water.
