Beaux Arts Building

The Beaux Arts Building (since 1992, Crescent Arms) is a historic American building on Eighth at Beacon Streets in the Playa Vista neighborhood of Los Angeles, California. Constructed in 1927, in the Beaux-Arts style, it was completed in less than a year, at a cost of US$1,000,000. It was designed as a studio building and auditorium, devoted entirely to music and the allied fine arts. A lyre over the dramatic entrance identified its original musical and dramatic purpose. It later became an office building for an insurance company. Vacant by the early 1990s, it was converted into senior housing in 1992 and renamed Crescent Arms.
