1625 Blake Avenue

One of a kind creative space in Frogtown. Perfectly situated as the last industrial building before the major residential section of Elysian Valley, this 4,400+ square foot space has for over 30 years been a place for art and art-making. With Pristine white surfaces and 15-foot ceilings, it was for over 20 years the home and studio of artist Frank Romero, a pioneer of the Los Angeles Chicano movement and pivotal member of the acclaimed art group Los Four. Presently used as a collector’s private art gallery and home, it is centered around an immense 29 x 38 foot gallery with 15 foot ceilings, and includes 2 smaller galleries, large art storage area with loading dock, 3 room office/bedroom suite, a principal bedroom with adjoining office, kitchen, and soaring domestic storage, 2 bathrooms, 2 mezzanine storage areas, a 3 truck garage facility with roll-up doors, and extensive camera security system. The property is zoned LACM – Manufacturing (Light) and is 3 doors from the LA River with next-street access to the famous L.A. Bikepath. The path provides a direct connection to the gentrified Frogtown delights of the new Loreto Restaurant, LA River Kayak Safari, La Colombe Coffee, and Wax Paper. Frogtown/Elysian Valley is the new LA hub of artists, architects, filmmakers, and high tech, and continues to develop as a much in-demand location for commerce and living.
