The two lobbies and their adjacent porticoes were treated with paintings relating to the themes of roses and citrus fruits, including oranges and grapefruits. The City of Pasadena has an annual, world-famous Rose Bowl parade and was at one time an area famous for citrus crops.

Each panel is executed in faux blue-and-white ceramic tile and illusionistic terra cotta sculpture. As a pair, the panels depict the conflicts between Native Americans and the farmers who settled Kansas in the late nineteenth century.
Here a series of three-dimensional arcades, with cut-out pergolas, frame an image of Justice and garden foliage. Each arcade is lit from above and from the sides to heighten viewers' perception of depth and give a sense of space in what is otherwise a narrow hallway.

For the lobby of Landmark Square, a skyscraper located twenty miles south of Los Angeles in Long Beach, the artist painted five murals relating to the area's history as a resort and manufacturing center. Two vertical panels depict airplane manufacturing and oil drilling and refining, primary industries in the area until recently. Another panel relates to Long Beach's importance as a port and includes a picture of the Queen Mary, which is still used as a museum and hotel.
