Heritage Parkscape: El Pueblo Machine Shop
Posted: January 14th, 2010
MACHINE SHOP (ca. 1915), now occupied by Casa California, was built as a machine shop fronting onto Main Street. As its architecture resembles other commercial buildings in Los Angeles constructed in 1910, it is possible that it was built in that year. After Christine Sterling transformed Olvera Street in 1930, the building was used for a short time as the Leo Carrillo Theater. Two of the three arched openings on the Main Street facade have been filled in with stucco walls. The central arch had vertical wooden boards and double doors with wrought iron bars.
