This Mission Revival shed was built in 1907 to convert power for the interurban rail lines running through the Culver City area. It was named a Los Angeles Historic Cultural Monument in 1978 and listed on the National Register in 1981. Converted to a 99 seat theatre in the 1990s, it has housed the Actors' Gang since 2005.
