May Company Building (Wilshire, Los Angeles)
The May Company Building in the Miracle Mile in the Wilshire district, Los Angeles, is a celebrated example of Streamline Moderne architecture, completed in 1939. The architect was Albert C. Martin, Sr., who also designed the Million Dollar Theater and Los Angeles City Hall. It is a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument.〔Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission (July 1994). Historic-Cultural Monuments. City of Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department.〕
The Los Angeles Conservancy calls it "the grandest example of Streamline Moderne remaining in Los Angeles". It is especially noted for its gold-tiled cylindrical section that faces the intersection of Wilshire Boulevard at Fairfax Avenue, of which it occupies the northeast corner.
In 1994 the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) acquired the building and, as "LACMA West", used it as exhibition space for the museum.
The building will be repurposed and The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures is set to open in the building in 2017.〔(Academy Museum of Motion Pictures official website )〕
