St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedral, Charles A. Klingerman & Albert R. Walker 1948

Architects Charles A. Klingerman and Albert R. Walker designed the Byzantine-inspired cathedral with considerable financial support from theater mogul Charles R. Skouras, perhaps a good reason why the sanctuary is over-the-top in its opulence. Declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (No. 120) in 1973.

Located at 1324 S. Normandie Avenue in the Pico Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles.
