May Company Building
β OpenThe May Company Building, located at 6067 Wilshire Boulevard in Los Angeles, California, is now home to the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. This stunning example of Streamline Moderne architecture has been preserved and adapted for its new purpose, thanks to the efforts of the L.A. Conservancy. Originally built in 1939 as a premiere department store, the May Company Wilshire symbolized the city's modern ascent. After facing demolition in the early 1990s, the building was saved and transformed into a major cultural institution and visitor destination. The four-story tower, adorned with over 300,000 gold glass mosaic tiles, is a defining feature of the building. The Conservancy's successful preservation efforts and collaboration with the museum leadership have ensured the building's historic integrity and recognition as a National Register of Historic Places. The Academy Museum's adaptive reuse project was awarded a 2022 Preservation Award, celebrating the dedication and achievement of all involved in this inspiring restoration project.
