He was the master planning architect for Cal State Long Beach, where he designed the CSULB Student Union.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Outside of his local impact, Killingsworth went on to a widespread career in hotel design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They included the Hilton Jakarta in Indonesia, The Mauna Lani Bay Hotel in Honolulu and the Princess Reforma Hotel in Mexico City. Prior to his architecture career, he also served in WWII as a Captain in the Army Corps of Engineers, where he supervised the production of more than 8 million photo maps in preparation for the Allied invasion of Europe.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe Frank House, also known as Case Study House #25, with its 17-foot tall front door at 82 Rivo Alto Canal in Naples in Long Beach, Monday, Nov. 11, 2024.
