Emergency Arts building in the old Fremont Medical Center

The old downtown historic JC Penney’s department store opened on April 3, 1952 and was converted in to the Fremont Medical Center in 1985. It is now called Emergency Arts and it is the home to the Beat Coffeehouse and Records, Lola Pictures, and array of galleries, non-profits, start-ups and co-ops. The old Fremont Medical Center neon sign is still mounted on the building as seen in this photo.
