Inscription.
This venue was built in 1929 as a multi purpose auditorium. In 1935 it opened as the Dunbar Skating Rink and served this function for many years. In 2001, after a period of vacancy, the Robert Gumbiner Foundation, through an adaptive reuse program, renovated this site as an artists' live work complex. The lamella ceiling is still visible inside and the Art Deco exterior has been extensively restored.
