Peek inside the penthouse of Los Angeles’s historic Ebell Theatre complex

Stark, modern interiors features inside this penthouse loft, which lies in a historic Los Angeles County theatre complex.

The two-bedroom duplex lies half an hour from Los Angeles in downtown Long Beach and is on sale for $878,000 with Unique California Property. It is part of the Ebell of Los Angeles, a theatre and clubhouse building built in 1924 by architect Charles T. McGrew in California’s Churrigueresque revival style.

Its main level is a grand, all-concrete, open-plan space, with 18ft timber ceilings, metal pipework, and a powder-blue kitchen. It has a polished concrete floor that reflects the natural light streaming through its large, factory-style windows. There are sweeping city views from the Los Angeles property’s private rooftop terrace, accessed via a metal spiral staircase.

The Wilshire Ebell Theatre is a Los Angeles cultural icon where a young Judy Garland was discovered and was where aviation pioneer Amelia Earhart made her last public appearance and speech before she left for her ill-fated around-the-world flight.
