As Los Angeles has grown, much of its architecture has been lost but much still remains. The list of landmarks includes grand Victorian mansions, detailed craftsman houses, personable bungalow courts, Modern and Moderne-style houses, Art Deco stores, hot-dog-shaped roadside stands, magnificent civic structures, engaging amusement parks and piers, movie palaces and studios, as well as the world's most extensive interurban transit system. The designers and architects who have left their mark on the city include Frank Lloyd Wright, Charles and Henry Greene, Myron Hunt, Irving Gill, R.M. Schindler, and Richard Neutra. See less
