Eugene Morahan's New Deal sculpture Santa Monica appears on the cover of Title Insurance and Trust Company's history of Santa Monica, California

Title Insurance and Trust Company of Los Angeles was a title insurance company that is remembered for their contributions to documenting local history. In addition to accumulating a notable collection of historic photographs now in the collection of the California Historical Society,[1] they commissioned W. W. Robinson (and others) to write a series of pamphlets about the histories of regions and neighborhoods of Southern California.[2] The Title Insurance and Trust Company building on Spring Street, used by the company from 1928 to 1977, is recognized as an architecturally significant building of downtown Los Angeles.[3]
