Historical Data	The Pacific Coast Club was Long Beach's most famous private club located at 850 East Ocean Boulevard. It was built in 1926 by architects Curlett & Beelman. The interior decorations were done by the Heinsbergens of Los Angeles. The building has since been demolished. The Villa Riviera Hotel, 800 East Ocean Boulevard, was constructed in 1929. Its architect, Richard D. King, won a grand prize at an international contest for his design of the sixteen-story building. The cost of construction was over two million dollars. At one time, Joseph M. Schenck of Twentieth Century-Fox and Norma Talmadge, then his wife, owned the hotel. It survived the Long Beach earthquake with only plaster cracks which were easily repaired and is a Long Beach landmark.
