The building features artwork by American artist Emile Norman, including a war memorial sculpture located outside the building. The sculpture depicts four 12-foot-high figures representing each branch of the armed forces, as well as 14 marble figures engaged in a tug-of-war, symbolizing the struggle between good and evil. Norman also created the building’s impressive mosaic mural, which is made up of silk, natural foliage, pieces of vegetables, metals, parchment, felt, linen, shells, sea life, stained glass, as well as gravels and soils from the 58 counties of California and the Islands of Hawaii.
