Failed Ideals is a stained-glass artwork by Metro Art commissioned artist Jim Isermann, consisting of six stained-glass windows installed into the portholes of the station pylons at Fifth Street Station. Each window design is inspired by architectural details from the City of Long Beach, some of which have been lost while others endure. These details range from 1950s concrete block and linoleum patterns to 1960s remodeled facades of older buildings. The architectural references in Failed Ideals evoke the lost optimism and failed aspirations of their respective eras.
