The front facade for the Satellite Mobile Home Park looks like piece from a giant erector set. The girders surrounding the entranceway feature holes throughout as a weight and material saver. Nowadays, the "S" on top of the girders has been removed.

Check out this Palm Springs style bank in Manhattan Beach on Pacific Coast Highway, which is a former Coast Federal and now a Washington Mutual. The reflecting pools have been replaced with river washed stone but it still looks great!

Many thanks to Chad Jones for clarification on former name.
