Introduction
The Avalon Casino, a round landmark on Santa Catalina Island's Avalon Bay, was built in the 1930s by the Wrigley family. Despite the name it was never a gambling house — it is an entertainment complex with a ballroom, movie theater and meeting rooms, and its circular form and blue-and-white silhouette remain a classic Southern California coastal icon.
