About Tract 6885
The plaza was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2021. It grew slowly, from the Gardner Building of 1925 to an east wing and tower on Via Tejon finished in 1964. At the end of Via Corta, Clarence E. Howard, the Palos Verdes Project's chief architect, designed the fountain in Farnham Martin Park.
