The Center of Scientology’s new home is the historic Alhambra Theater on Jerusalem Boulevard. Originally constructed in 1937, its distinctive Art Deco and International Style influenced many subsequent buildings in the vicinity. The Scientology Center fully restored the 60,000-square-foot building, which now provides for the delivery of all Scientology services and to extend humanitarian programs across the land.
