| Richfield Oil Building figures Santa Barbara, CA |

 |
 |
| The Richfield Oil Building was designed by Stiles O. Clements and built from 1928-1929 in downtown Los Angeles. The black and gold, 12-story building was covered with decorative glazed terra cotta. The building was demolished in 1969. These 12-foot-tall, gilded terra cotta figures were installed above the main entrance. They were created by Haig Patigian. Before the demolition, a UCSB professor arranged for them to be saved. They went into storage until 1982 when they were installed where they are today. There were four figures but only three were complete (Industry, Aviation, and Navigation). The Postal Service figure remains in storage. For more, see these websites: 1, 2, and 3. [map] |
