Youth Art Center Under Construction At 225 East 5th Street, Downtown Los Angeles
A new art center project is taking shape and form at its project site at 225 East 5th Street in Downtown Los Angeles. The project proposal includes the development of a youth art center in the historic Fire Station No. 23. The project calls for the conversion of the structure that dates back more than 20 years. The fire station came into service in 1910, and even accommodate horse-drawn fire engines until 1915. It was considered one of the most advanced facilities of its type at the time of its construction. Brooks + Scarpa is responsible for the designs.
