Bergamot Station Los Angeles

For the art enthusiast in Los Angeles, providence was quick enough to judge in favor of including Bergamot Station. This provides a rare collection of several art galleries in a facility located on the bay of Santa Monica. The facility's name however derives from dates back in the years of the 1870's when it catered as a railway stop for the Pacific Electric serving the Los Angeles County into the 1950's.

Later inherited by a celery packaging firm, the facility has in the recent past been in the ownership of American Appliance who left it vacant in 1993. Though a light rail project to provide transport for commuters between the areas of downtown LA and Santa Monica had been in the horizon in the late 1980's, these were shelved after no significant progress seemed to come through.

The idea for the facility was made possible by the talented Wayne Bank who conceptualized an artistic purpose for the then derelict lot leading to its opening in September of 1994.
