Vibiana is a beautifully restored landmark of Los Angeles history, dating back to 1876. This performing arts complex was purchased by downtown developer Tom Gilmore in 1999, who has taken great strides at returning the Cathedral back to its original beauty and grandeur. In August 2007, the 3,500 pound cupola, which was removed by the Archdiocese after the devastating Northridge earthquake, was returned to the top of the 83-foot-tall bell tower, marking a victorious occasion for preservationists and downtown Los Angeles. EcoNouveau will house a 77' runway in the main hall, with music performances in the garden courtyard, and a private oasis filled with art in the rectory.
