Traders / Trader Vic's - Beverly Hills, CA (restaurant) - Locating Tiki

B bigbrotiki Tiki Socialite Tiki Island, above the Silverlake Joined: Mar 25, 2002 Posts: 11621	B bigbrotiki Posted posted on Fri, Nov 23, 2012 11:26 PM I am not aware of that fountain, but it sounds intriguing. The way to find out about that is to contact architect Welton Becket's office http://www.ellerbebecket.com/100/founders.html (it's current incarnation) who built it. In fact, I know of the existence of a booklet that describes all the design features and artists involved with the project. I once had a xeroxed version of it, but lent it to someone, who never returned it :( - and now I can't remember who it was. I still have one page from it... ....I remember it also talked about the carver of the giant pole Tikis outside, of which only the one by the entrance survived: I have yet to find a good image of these 4 watchers of Wilshire Blvd, if you do, let me know. :)
