1930

Grand Central Air Terminal is an intact example of an early airport
passenger terminal and serves as a physical record of pivotal events that helped shape the development of air travel and the aviation industry in Southern California.
The air terminal attracted renowned aviators including Amelia Earhart,
Howard Hughes, and Charles Lindbergh; became the base of operations for
aircraft designers and manufacturers; and served as the west coast
terminus of the first regularly scheduled transcontinental commercial
passenger air service.
An integral part of the burgeoning film industry, the airport was a
favorite arrival and departure point for film stars and studio moguls.
The terminal was also a popular filming venue throughout the 1930s.
The building is a rare example of spanish colonial revival architecture
with art deco influences applied to the design of an early 20th century
airport terminal.
