I asked about the Pico Palace because I wrote a short story yesterday about how a boxing trainer used to take us kids to box at the palace, among other places, back in the late '40s...The Pico Palace was on Whittier Blvd (north side) just west of where the 605 Freeway is now, somewhere close to where the steakhouse is now....The Pico Palace was a dance hall, like Betty's Barn in Irwindale...Besides dances, the palace also held amateur boxing about once a month. In Later years. the palace became a furniture store. At some point in time, it was razed down, I am not sure when that happened, though.
