An island icon.
A legacy of craftsmanship.
THE PLACE & THE WORK
Keeping A Landmark’s
Character Alive.
At the water’s edge on Santa Catalina Island, the Catalina Casino is an enduring expression of Art Deco and Mediterranean Revival architecture.
Built by William Wrigley Jr. and completed in 1929, the 12-story landmark housed a movie theater designed for sound and a ballroom on its upper floor. Designed by Sumner A. Spaulding and Walter Webber, it has long served as an entertainment venue for the island.
