OUR ROOTS

Historic spaces. New stories.

At 1019, 1023 and 1029 Del Paso Boulevard, artist, musician and entrepreneur Angel Garcia — known for his artistic metalwork as Iron Angel — restored three historic commercial buildings with help from Charles Lee. The work included structural, safety and accessibility improvements.

The vision: a neighborhood home for exhibitions, performances, recording, books, creativity and connection.
