HOLLYWOOD : Arson Suspected at Former Site of Stella Adler Theater
A Hollywood building that formerly housed the Stella Adler Theater and was slated for demolition to make way for a Metro Red Line station burned Tuesday, and arson was suspected.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority owns the boarded-up building on Hollywood Boulevard and North Argyle Avenue. Investigators believe the fire was started in some rubbish that was intentionally ignited, said Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Bob Collis. The majority of the building had been gutted in an earlier fire. The Stella Adler Theater closed several months ago.
