The sign reads, "The last rivet has been driven. You are glad and so are we." For many days, it has been rat-tat-tat-tat and more rat-tat-tat-tat at Wilshire and Flower street as workmen put up the steel framework of the new General Petroleum Building. Photograph dated January 2, 1948. Designed in the Late Moderne style of the postwar period, with ceramic veneer exterior by Gladding, McBean & Co., the General Petroleum Building was built for $8,000,000 and was one of the first skyscrapers to employ a modular system throughout the entire structure. Aluminum fin sunshades from 3rd to 13th floor. Wurdeman & Becket also designed all interior details including furnishings, color schemes & fixtures. It was built between 1947-1949.
