With the financial assistance of the Highland Park Heritage Trust, the Highland Theatre¹s magnificent rooftop sign will burn brightly once again, after the replacement of more than 750 incandescent light bulbs. Originally restored and lit in the late 1990¹s through a collaboration of the Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Neon Program and the Targeted Neighborhood Initiative Program, the sign is one of only three incandescent bulb signs still in use in the city. Declared a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument in 1991, the Highland Theatre was constructed in 1924, from a design by the noted theater architect L.A. Smith (he also designed South Pasadena’s Rialto.) from 2003 press release by Highland Park Heritage Trust
