A gift of civic leader J. Euclid Miles in memory of his daughter Mary, this playhouse is dedicated to the young men and women of Santa Monica.<\/p>\n
It was designed by noted architect John Byers, whose thirty-year career included homes for many celebrities.<\/p>\n
With its white stucco, red-tiled roof, and wrought iron details, the building exemplifies the Spanish Colonial Revival style popular in the 1920s and mastered by Byers.<\/p>\n
The building suffered heavy damage in the 1994 Northridge earthquake and has since been restored to its original appearance.<\/p>\n
The park surrounding the playhouse was originally intended as a plaza for guests of adjacent hotels; the hotels instead rose closer to the beach. The park was the site of the first polo game in California (1880s) and the first golf game in Southern California (1897).<\/p>\n
Today, the playhouse still serves as a entertainment venue for the local community.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
