The Los Angeles Theatre Center is a performance complex of several theaters that first opened in Downtown Los Angeles. Designed and built in 1916 in the Greek revival style, the space served as the home of Security Trust & Savings, Security National Bank, and President Trading Company, before eventually reopening in 1985 as the Los Angeles Theatre Center.
Today, the space retains some of its original features, including a large 50 by 100 foot stained glass ceiling. After receiving a $4 million grant from the California Cultural and Historical Endowment to refurbish the building in 2006, the complex is now operated by the Latino Theatre Company.. [2]
