this is one of my favorite buildings in santa monica. it looks all puffy and cloudlike. i think it is a bank or something. :(
"It's St. Monica as in Santa Monica., the patron saint of our city. Legend has it that when the missionaries first came out here there was a natural spring bubbling out of the ground. So the Spaniards called it Santa Monica as it reminded them of her tears. This Art Deco statue was a 1934 Public Works of Art Project creation. She is quite an attraction, standing tall on a bluff overlooking Santa Monica Bay, the "Queen's Necklace". People leave flowers at her base, and light candles around her. Surrounding the statue is a patch of grass shaped like a heart."
