Our building was originally constructed in 1935 as part of the California Pacific International Exposition. Designed as a temporary structure, it stands today over 70 years later. The building is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. Over the years the building has served many needs. Of course it was used to display goods to the International Exposition. Then during World War II, it was used as a barracks for Navy Corpsman training at the old Navy Hospital which was about one mile away. After the war it was used for many civic purposes including storage, as an auditorium and as a hall for festive dancing.
The parking lot in front was once the impressive "Firestone Singing Fountains". Next door to us today is the famed Aerospace Museum. Across from us is the historic Starlight Bowl which has offered impressive out door theatre for decades.
