In 1973, the Women's Building opened in the former Chiounard Art Institute just off MacArthur Park. It had art galleries, studios, classrooms, coffeehouse, a bookstore, a theater, and a travel agency. It was intended as a venue for women and lesbians to create a new women's culture. There was no hierarchy at the building so those who participated did so in all aspects including janitorial tasks. It operated until 1991.
