Synopsis:

The historic Beverly Hills Post Office is set to become the home of the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts. Nearly 500 community leaders, celebrities, VIPs and politicos attended the celebration groundbreaking. Built during the Great Depression, the building will be adapted and renovated for a whole new purpose.
