226 Atlantic Avenue
Long Beach, CA
(562) 235-3331

Located at 226 Atlantic Avenue in the city of Long Beach, this small scale commercial structure combines Art Deco and Gothic Revival design in a very unique and distinctive facade. Built in 1933, this is a relatively late example of Art Deco styling, constructed at a time when the style had already gained popular acceptance. The combination of Gothic Revival and Art Deco was sometimes used for "skyscrapers" of the late twenties and early thirties. Finding these styles on a small scale commercial building is unusual, and this building has a unique charm that is quite individual. The original use was for fruit packing: Sun Ripe Date Company.

The Atlantic Studio is an established and familiar visual feature of downtown Long Beach, having existed there in unchanged form for fifty-six years. Its unique and charming facade distinguishes it from other small commercial buildings.
