News Conference to Announce Plans for Famed Pantages Theatre
Original plans approved by City of LA in 1929 are now set to be complete
HOLLYWOOD, Calif., Dec. 6 /PRNewswire/ —
WHAT: After nearly 80 years, Hollywood's premier landmark, the
palatial Art Deco-styled Pantages Theatre will finally be
completed with an office tower as envisioned by B. Marcus
Priteca, its original architect. Hollywood Boulevard’s Pantages
Theatre was the last and largest built for impresario Alexander
Pantages, and it was a victim of the Wall Street Crash of 1929.
Priteca’s original plans for the theatre-and its 10 story
office tower-were stamped “Approved” on May 24, 1929 by the
City of Los Angeles Board of City Planning Commissioners.
These plans will become the basis for the project's
Environmental Impact Report that will be submitted later this
month.
