California Theater

When it opened in 1927, the California Theater was heralded as "the cathedral of the motion picture" and "an enduring contribution to the artistic beauty of the entire Southland." The architecture is Spanish Colonial Revival, and the ornate interior at one time featured gold leaf ceilings and murals throughout. The 2200 seat auditorium is almost five stories and originally housed a Wurlitzer organ. Plans are being circulated that would replace this outstanding theater hall with a new condominium tower.
