The Alex Theatre is Glendale's premier theatre and performance venue. Although originally designed by architects Lindley & Selkirk in a Classical Revival style with an entry forecourt, in 1940, the theatre façade was remodeled into a spectacular Moderne edifice by noted theatre architect S. Charles Lee, and was renamed the Alex.

In continuous operation since 1941, the Moderne style Bun 'n Burger is a beloved local destination slinging affordable diner food from morning till night.

This three-story Moderne office building was later expanded to accommodate the growth of Farmers Insurance.

At the time of its construction the dam was the largest of its type in the world, built by a workforce of nearly 1,000 and a stunning illustration of the functional and aesthetic power of good design.
