It's Sheets Week and we're celebrating Millard Sheets, the artist and architectural designer who dotted Southern California with beautiful modern Home Savings bank branches.
Over the course of his career, Millard Sheets designed and executed at least 70 buildings (some put the figure at more than 100). Most were Home Savings banks (now mostly Chases) and Sheets-pert Adam Arenson has helpfully collected a huge list of banks that are still standing, including both those operating as banks and those that have been converted. With huge thanks to him, we've put them into a handy map guide for your touring pleasure. To take a virtual look around at a few of these buildings (and others): here are our tours of the Hollywood Home Savings, five projects in greater LA, five in Claremont and Pomona, the Scottish Rite Masonic Temple on Wilshire, and Sheets's own studio in Claremont.
