The second half of the tour was a mix of buildings in the jewelry retail area. Visits were a bit hurried as we were in retail shops. We visited the new Apple Store in the restored Tower Theatre building on our own and had a bit more time for photos. But it's been a long morning and we were getting tired. Union Station was our last stop after lunch - a spectacular building to end the day.

| Wholesale Jewelry Mart and the Los Angeles Jewelry Center |
The WHolesale Jewelry Mart building combines Art Deco with Gothic details. The Los Angeles Jewelry Center with its brilliant green terra cotta and complex arangement of setbacks gave it a distinct Art Deco presence.
