Project DescriptionThe Kenneth Hahn Hall of Administration is situated on the Civic Center Mall across from the Stanley Mosk Courthouse. The two buildings were executed within a few years of one another by mostly the same design team of architects. Gold-colored replicas of two of the Courthouse’s bas-relief exterior figures, Mosaic Law and Declaration of Independence, are situated on the southern façade of the County Hall of Administration.
