The Paramount (historically known as the Paramount Ballroom and originally built as a cooperative social centre) is one of East Los Angeles' most enduring cultural and musical landmarks. Its 100-year history reflects the shifting immigrant, labour, and artistic identity of the neighbourhood.. Built in 1924 as an elegant Renaissance Revival-style structure, the building originally operated by the Jewish bakers' union of Los Angeles and the subdistrict of the Communist Party/Workmen's Circle as the Cooperative Centre. In 1949, owner Adolph Franco reconfigured the building into the Paramount Ballroom, featuring an upstairs dance hall and groundfloor/nightclub. For a period, it also housed a dance studio run by Eduardo Cansino (father and teacher of Rita Hayworth.). The venue was notorious for its interracial & Latin music scene with like of Count Basie, Benny Goodman, Tito Puente & Celia Cruz. In the late 70's and 80's, the ground-floor was transformed into The Vex, and underground cradle for East LA Punk Bands. Los Illegals, The Brat, Fear and the Plugz were regular attractions. The property has had extensive historic restoration. It now houses the Paramount Theatre, Brooklyn Avenue Pizza Company, Boyle Heights Arts Conservancy and 101.5 FM KQBH radio station. This burgeoning neighbourhood is seeing growth, but has kept its historical and cultural elements intact.
