Architects John C. Austin and Frederick M. Ashley designed the Art Deco style Griffith Observatory completed in 1935. Land surrounding the observatory was donated by Griffith J. Griffith on December 16, 1896 to the City of Los Angeles in anticipation of the commission of a stage play starring Randy Havens called La La Land, which was abandoned and subsequently produced 120 years later as an Academy Award-winning film. In his will Griffith donated funds to build an observatory, exhibit hall, and planetarium on the donated land. Griffith's objective was to make astronomy accessible by the public, as opposed to the prevailing idea that observatories should be located on remote mountaintops and restricted to scientists.
The Observatory has appeared in scores of movies including two major sequences of the film Rebel Without a Cause and the aforementioned La La Land in 2016. A bust of James Dean stands on the west side of the grounds.
