The stately Veterans Building is an exact replica of the Opera House next door, at least on the outside. This vast structure was designed by renowned architect Arthur Brown, Jr., and built in 1932. The building was proposed by the American Legion to "dedicate a performing arts complex to the Great War (WWI) as a living memorial." The building was dedicated on Armistice Day, Nov. 11, 1932. The Veterans Building houses a number of veterans organizations from different wars, troops, and services. Many important events, civic ceremonies, performances and gatherings have taken place at "The Veterans" including ground breaking speeches commemorating the founding of the United Nations in 1945. Quite a few city agencies have offices within the Veterans Building. The galery exhibits contemporary art by emerging and mid-career artists from the Bay Area.
