According to the Lompoc Record, fire personnel were at a fire east of town when alerted of the theater fire. On their arrival, Firefighters encountered a building fully involved in fire. Fire in this grand old theater resulted in its total loss. This is a very small photo of the fire at the La Mesa Theater.
The La Mesa Theater opened in 1944 according to the Lompoc Record. It was owned by Earl Calvert who also owned the Lompoc Theater. “In 1944, Calvert opened a second theater, La Mesa, on the south side of Ocean between I and J which lasted for 12 years before a fire destroyed it”.
