Architects Landont and Wilson designed the Verdugo Towers, an eleven-story apartment building in 1966. It was the first of many high-rise residential towers built in Glendale and would remain so, at least for a time, except for the six-story Glendale Hotel as the recession of 1973-1975 minimized such efforts.
The Verdugo Towers is located at 1155 North Brand Boulevard in Glendale, California. Please do not use this image in any media without my permission. © All rights reserved.

The Getty Villa is modeled after the Villa dei Papiri, a first-century Roman country house in Herculaneum, Italy which was buried by the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius in 79 CE. The J. Paul Getty Museum building was originally designed by Langdon and Wilson in the early 70s with Norman Neuerburg working closely with J. Paul Getty on the design of the interiors and some of the exterior details. A renovation by the Boston architectural firm of Rodolfo Machado and Jorge Silvetti was commenced in 1997 and completed in 2006 when it was reopened to the public. The architectural plan surrounding the Villa is designed to simulate an archaeological dig.
