A 1914 Craftsman community hall designed by architect John Stannard, Point Loma Assembly operates from Talbot Street as a nonprofit event and performance venue. Wedding parties, nonprofit galas, and corporate gatherings book the redwood-pier-and-post hall alongside regular community meetings, placing the Assembly in Point Loma's competitive event-rental market with alternative warehouse-style halls including BRICK. Twenty-eight concerned citizens founded the organization as a community meeting place, and the building has since served as a WWII Red Cross Distribution Center, a Cabrillo Elementary kindergarten auditorium, and a polling station. Philanthropist Dorothea Laub led a community restoration beginning in November 2011 that added roofs, bathrooms, an entrance ramp, hardwood floors, air conditioning, and Wi-Fi, making the hall viable for modern theatrical bookings that draw casts from area performing arts programs including Theatre Arts School of San Diego. Multi-act theatrical productions and large catered wedding receptions on the lighting- and sound-equipped stage represent the most involved bookings the hall handles, with rental income funding continued preservation of the California Arts and Crafts structure.
