Building History

The City of Long Beach began planning a new Municipal Auditorium in 1914, over a year after 34 poeple died when a pier leading to the hall's entrance gave way on 05/24/1913. While these plans were announced, no concrete action in building a new facility occurred until the late 1920s.
