Hidden within the Bixby Knolls neighborhood of Long Beach, California, sits a 1954 mid-century ranch with a mostly brick exterior, separated only by some paneling and a small window.

But its true claim to fame is that it’s the only Louis Kahn building located in the Midwest and the only performing arts center the architect ever produced in the world. That’s why the city is now doing all it can to not only preserve it for future generations but also update the building to be more easily accessible to all audiences.
