posted in: All News, USA | 0

The Los Angeles City Council voted Wednesday, Jan. 13, to reconsider designating the vaudevillian Granada Theater in South Los Angeles as an L.A. Historic-Cultural Monument.

The 1,000-seat theater, 632 N. Avalon Blvd., in Wilmington, opened in 1926 to host vaudeville performers as part of the West Coast Theaters chain. It has switched operators several times since and has been used as a performance arts center, filming location, movie house, Spanish cinema theater, church and special event venue, according to the Wilmington Granada Friends organization.
