Houston, Joe and Charlotta Bass, and others began constructing a black-owned vacation resort for African Americans in 1924 on 1,000 acres in the Santa Clarita Valley, about 50 miles north of Los Angeles. It was originally called Eureka Villa. The community's slogan was "Industry, Education, Pleasure, Religion." Later, community members changed the name of the community back to Val Verde.

Tower Theatre, Compton, lounge, entry

Description:: Designed for a working class community in Los Angeles, the Tower Theater is a modest design which presents a stylish black and white Deco exterior (62701). The night view shows the effective use of neon and spotlighting to illuminate the fluted Moderne tower (62702). The box office is surrounded by circles of light bulbs on the lobby ceiling and a sunburst design on the lobbyýs terrazzo floor (62703). Poster cases are framed by scrolled pediments and simulated columns. The interior uses exaggerated columns, mirrors, white traditional-style furniture, and gilt to suggest a palatial elegance that is distant from the lives of the theatreýs clientele (62704-62705). Hanging lanterns and striped upholstery in the auditorium impart a subdued elegance (62706-62707).
