Kaiser Convention Center is a historic, publicly owned multi-purpose arena in Oakland, California. The facility includes a 5,492-seat arena, a large theater, and a large ballroom.〔Ward, Jennifer Inez (June 28, 2011). ("Historic Kaiser Convention Center's Future Remains Unknown" ), ''Oakland Local''. Retrieved February 24, 2012.〕 The building is #27 on the list of Oakland Historic Landmarks.〔 ==History== The Beaux-Arts style landmark was built in 1914; the architect was John J. Donovan.〔(Oakland historic landmarks )〕 Originally known as the Oakland Civic Auditorium, it was renamed in honor of Henry J. Kaiser after a 1984 renovation. The city closed the facility in 2006 and its future is uncertain.〔Phillips, Ryan (February 13, 2012). ("Once the Center of Civic Life, Former Oakland Auditorium Now Vacant with Future Still Uncertain" ), ''San Francisco Chronicle''. Retrieved February 24, 2012.〕 In 2006, Oakland voters defeated a ballot proposition advocating a library space in the building. The facility was owned by the City of Oakland until 2011, when it was sold to the local redevelopment agency for $28 million.〔Johnson, Chip (July 25, 2011). ("Oakland Budget Saved by Bizarre Building Transfer" ), ''San Francisco Chronicle''. Retrieved February 24, 2012.〕 However, the redevelopment agency was dissolved by the State of California in 2012,〔() "City of Oakland Minimizes Job Losses Following Adoption of Amended Budget to Close $28 Million Deficit from Elimination of Redevelopment", City of Oakland. February 23, 2012〕 so ownership reverted to the city of Oakland. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kaiser Convention Center」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
