The Medical Arts Center is a ten-acre landscaped complex of doctors’ offices built just west of Abreu and Robinson’s 1955

Memorial Medical Center. Drawing heavily on California’s Eichler Homes, the thirty modernist buildings feature low-pitched gable roofs with flared ends, wide overhanging eaves, and heavy exposed rafter beams. Details include textured pattern brick, board-and-batten siding, lattice screen brick walls, and open gable ends enclosed with glass. Many units share a covered entrance patio with built-in benches and plantings. Additional automobile-based professional and commercial services soon filled the area, including the immediately adjacent Medical Arts Shopping Center (1959) and the Professional Plaza Shopping Center (1962) at 5002 Paulsen Street.
