If it was built during the late 1940s to mid-1960s, the building probably falls into the category of "Googie" architecture. See the article at Wikipedia.

Hi, doll! What a fun link, and the pictures--fabulous! My heart belongs in Palm Springs, so I'll have to go with the Albert Frey design.

I didn't stay to read the comments because some of those people sure were cranky. I don't need that. Who does? Love your blog. You're speakin' my language!
