The Eames Foundation, located in the Eames Office on Pico Boulevard, houses the couple's archives and preserves the legacy and history of their studio on Washington Blvd (now Abbot Kinney). Plan a day to visit the Eames office, swing by their old studio, and grab some delicious pork ribs at Glencrest Bar-B-Que down the street. If you make a reservation, you can even take an exterior, self-guided tour of the iconic Eames House in Pacific Palisades, where the couple lived on a bluff overlooking the Pacific Ocean until their deaths.
