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. With the collapse of a new development proposal that would have incorporated the theater in to the project, the property is back up for sale and her future is uncertain.
