Designed by Robert V. Derrah and built in 1936, the Crossroads of the World has been called America's first modern shopping center. Located on Sunset Boulevard and Las Palmas in Los Angeles, the mall features a central building designed to resemble an ocean liner surrounded by a small village of cottage-style bungalows representing different areas of the world.

Crossroads of the World is both a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument and a National Register of Historic Places landmark.
