DOWNTOWN LOS ANGELES — The 1927 United Artists Theatre and its attached 14-story office building is up for sale, listed for $15 million. Since 1989, the building has housed the University Cathedral, a church headed by colorful television evangelist Dr. Gene Scott until his death in 2005.
One of the dozen historic theatres to line Broadway, the United Artists is in perhaps the most turn-key shape, according to Los Angeles Historic Theatre Foundation head Hillsman Wright. His group is interested in acquiring the theatre.
The University Cathedral ministry is continued by Scott's widow, Pastor Melissa Scott. The church has split time between Downtown and a facility in Glendale, where it will now focus its efforts.
Along with the 1,500 to 2,000 seat theatre, the building contains 73,783 square feet of office space.
The building is perhaps best known for a pair of neon "Jesus Saves" signs that Scott installed on the structure when he moved in. They originally stood atop the Church of the Open Door, at 6th and Hope.

For all those people who talk about the gentrification of Broadway, here's a possible opportunity for a developer: Listed about a month ago, the United Artists Theater at 927 S. Broadway is for sale for $15 million, according to Loopnet. More about the building information via Cinemas Treasures: "The downtown United Artists Theatre was opened in 1927 by its founders Charlie Chaplin, Douglas Fairbanks, and Mary Pickford who needed the massive Spanish Gothic style movie palace as a venue for world premieres of their movies. With its elaborate exterior and interior, the former United Artists Theatre is now the home for Gene Scott's Los Angeles University Cathedral." Blogdowntown also noted the listing and reports the church is heading to Glendale. Meanwhile, those Jesus Saves signs are located on the back of the building.

At cinematreasures a poster speaks about the United Artists theater..
Thanks for all the great photos and history - both true and anecdotal. As a regular attendee of Sunday services, I can recommend the experience. Pastor Melissa Scott is a gifted teacher and her hour-long "classes" about history, language, and the Bible are interesting, whatever your beliefs - or lack thereof. The UA is maintained meticulously with TLC. When you attend, you'll understand the need for the church to have its high level of security. The Los Angeles Historic Theatre Foundation posted 9 minutes of video footage shot of the theatre interior during the late '80's. You can find that at www.youtube.com\lahtf With Pastor Scott's approval, the LAHTF is planning an All About docu-tour and history presentation at the UA in early 2010. Along with Grauman's Million Dollar, the UA is extraordinary in just about every way.
