Remarks

Deeply rooted in the historic Tower District, the California Arts Academy building, originally known as the Severance building, has served as a cornerstone of the Fresno performing arts community for decades. The building was constructed in 1930 by C.B. Severance as a dance studio and home for his family. The residence was on the main floor and upstairs was a grand ballroom. In 2005 the building was sold to the California Arts Academy and in 2007 the property underwent a massive $1 million plus renovation. The main floor was reconfigured into 5 versatile private studios and rooms of various sizes plus a prep kitchen and high capacity multiuser restrooms. (5 stalls in women's restroom and 1 stall in men's with 3 urinals). The upper level maintains its original grandeur with a sweeping ballroom, period chandeliers, maple flooring plus a 2nd small prep kitchen and 2 private bathrooms. Whether utilized as a premier dance and theatre conservatory or reimagined as a multi-tenant creative hub of all-inclusive mini office suites, this landmark offers exceptional character and charm all in a very central Tower location. There are also several additional large storage rooms plus a basement. Call for a private tour today!
