Description: The Westlake Theatre in the western Westlake district, Los Angeles. A National Register of Historic Places site (January 7, 2010) and Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (#546) located at 634-642 South Alvarado Street - Los Angeles. Designed by architect Richard M. Bates in the Spanish Colonial Revival style with Churrigueresque detailing on the exterior, and constructed by the West Coast Langley Theatres. The theater auditorium includes a striking, extant mural by nationally-acclaimed Dutch-born muralist, Anthony Heinsbergen, and another mural in the theater's mezzanine, also likely rendered by Heinsbergen. In 1935, portions of the exterior, the entrance, and interior foyer were updated by architect S. Charles Lee. The theater is also noted for its three-story-high rooftop neon sign that is a neighborhood marker for Westlake/MacArthur Park.
