It was once the meeting place of Los Angeles, a home for entertainment. The Pan Pacific Auditorium hosted everything from concerts to sporting events. Beyond that, it was a perfect example of streamline moderne. Its architects, Walter Wurdeman and Welton Becket, created an icon and used it to ignite their careers, helping redefine Los Angeles into the metropolis it is today.
A special thanks to architect and historian Alan Hess for giving his insight into the history of the Pan Pacific. Learn more about his work over at alanhess.net.
