The Ebell of LA's historic campus, including the lush gardens and the famed Wilshire Ebell Theatre, was built in 1927 and designed by architect Sumner Hunt. It was built with a mission to serve as a central hub for the education of women with a focus on service and the arts, and to this day, the grounds continue to serve as a gathering place for scholarship, community and arts discovery. With five stages and more than 2,000 seats, the 94,000 square-foot renaissance-inspired building is a noted architectural treasure listed on the National Register of Historic Places and a designated Los Angeles Cultural Monument.
