Exchange LA

The Los Angeles Stock Exchange Building was built in 1929 out of limestone and gray granite with portions spanning fifty-three feet tall. Reinforced concrete and terra cotta is the material of choice for the eleven stories in the back. There are three bas-relief panels carved into the granite by Salvatore Scarpitta. These panels show elements of capitalism.
The interior includes a huge balconied trading floor with forty-foot ceilings and sixty-four booths. When the Los Angeles and San Francisco Stock Exchange merged in 1956 and became the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange, the building was still being used. However, in 1986 this impressive symbol of finance emptied and stayed that way until 2008.
Today the building has been turned into one of the most fabulous clubs on the West Coast. The Exchange holds up to 1500 guests at once, has six full-service bars, and the Sky Loft accommodating up to 35 guests. The lighting is by SJ Lighting, and there is a Funktion One Res. III sound system. A 200-square foot LED screen display features over 1.25 million bulbs for clarity. State of the art fog and confetti machines add to the vibe, and there is a raised stage platform. In other words, the LA Exchange is the one of the best for electronic dance music in California.
