I absolutely loved this building. My parents took me to an event there in the late 1960s or early 1970s, and I fell in love with it again after seeing it in Xanadu. And was always saddened in later years as I would sometimes drive by and see it decay more and more. About 15 years ago I actually recreated it in Second Life for use as a ballroom.

I only vaguely remember this building from my childhood, but it would be great to have it back.

Hey Steve. What a fantastic presentation and back story. Well done. Wow. The Pan Pacific was really a triumph of architecture that blended optimism and fantasy. I wish I could have seen this treasure in person. Your interview with Alan was also fascinating. Thank you for your commitment to superb architecture and for posting this historic information.

It was a real treat getting to talk to him. He's incredibly knowledgable about Los Angeles' architectural legacy.

I wanted to see this building so bad when I first moved to Los Angeles but I was devastated to learn that it had burned down many many years before while I was still in high school in Florida.

This venue was part of my parents’ generation but I always thought it was stunning and really wish someone would have wanted to preserve/restore it before its demise

There were a few failed attempts. Los Angeles has always had trouble preserving its architectural history.
