El Paseo Building

Built 1926-27, this Spanish Eclectic complex is built around a courtyard in which are displayed many decorative features typical of the architectural style. The frontage along Palm Canyon Dr. has been altered, but much of the original building remains hidden behind the "modern" storefronts. An extension of the original roof once provided a covered walkway along the street. This complex included El Paseo Theatre which served as the City Council Chamber 1944-1948.
