A must see in Avalon is the iconic Catalina Casino, A Moorish style structure built in 1929 by baseball and chewing gum magnate William Wrigley Jr. The family still owns much of the island. Here you can enjoy the ornate Art Dec tile murals, then head inside to the beautiful theater where the original Page pipe organ will serenade you to a Buster Keaton film. Next, head upstairs to the majestic ballroom where Big Band was once King. Today it's home to smooth jazz concerts and grand military balls. If you're in the mood to watch a new flick, the theater also plays new releases every weekend. Overlooking the bluff in Avalon you'll notice a white cottage with a green and orange turret known as the Holly Hill House. Built in 1890, it's the third oldest home in Catalina.
