Edgewater Inn. 1963. Long Beach. California.

Designed by prominent African American architect Roy Sealey, the hotel was completed in 1963 and originally called the Edgewater Inn. As originally envisioned, each hotel room is afforded either a courtyard or ocean view. A separate building houses the public components, including the hotel office, restaurant, lounge, and meeting rooms. One of a few surviving examples of a 1960s Googie-style hotel, the buildings' distinctive features include unique Y-shaped piers supporting a diamond-patterned roofline on the main building, a folded-plate roofline on a circular office wing, decorative concrete block screens, and original diamond-patterned metal railings. Two two-story zigzag guest room wings originally housing 200 hotel rooms are arranged symmetrically to create partially enclosed courtyard spaces. -laconservancy.org
