| Notes | Saint Sophia Cathedral, Los Angeles, seen from the Northwest. This magnificent Byzantine structure was completed in 1952 at a cost of two million dollars, though its true value is estimated to be at least twice that amount. It is situated on 4 1/2 beautiful landscaped acres in the center of the city where scores of tourists visit every day. The towering Eucalyptus is the only tree originally standing; the rest, some forty of them, were brought in fully grown. Saint Sophia is the center of the Greek Orthodox Church in the Western States. |
