San Gabriel Valley Tribune online edition presented this slide show of their tour of the new Church of Scientology of Pasadena on Monday July 19. 

“The imposing four-story, 50,800-square-foot building at 35 S. Raymond Ave. will serve around 10,000 Scientologists from the San Gabriel Valley to the Inland Empire, said Eden Stein, president of the Pasadena Church.

“‘We’re very pleased,’ Stein said Monday, a day after about 4,200 Scientologists celebrated at a street party on Raymond attended by church leader David Miscavige.”

‘Visitors walking into the ground floor, which is open to the public, will find the same soaring atrium, the walkways and even the old wall clocks at each end.

“But the rest of the building has been converted to provide facilities for the expected 200 to 300 daily church members and 173 staff.

“Off the Raymond Avenue entry is a public information center, with 17 multimedia displays introducing the beliefs of Scientology. The area will be open from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.”

The conversion of the historic Braley Building in Old Pasadena into the Church of Scientology is now complete and opened to the public Monday July 19, 2010.
