How about taking photos aboard the Queen Mary in Long Beach? Depending on the nature of the shoot, you might need permission for anything more than snapshots though. The Observation Bar, as I recall, was very nice and classy art deco. Really the whole ship is a nice photo location with stair cases, atriums, bars, great views of the city, etc. Disney's Grand Californian hotel has some really cool re-created vintage interiors too. Same issue with permission, though, I'm sure, unless you are stealthy. They are friendly if you call and ask about their policies in advance. Then there's the very vintage and craftsman style Gamble House in Pasadena -- this is where Doc Brown lived in Back To The Future. Again, you need permission, because it is controlled like a museum of sorts.
