Located in the heart of Downtown Pomona’s Art District, the Electric Loft sits on the 2nd floor, above the M&M Electric Building. Built by the Pomona Cooperative Association in 1896, the first floor of the structure housed the association’s private grocery store. The members of this group believed that they were helping to “stem the tide of private monopoly and oppression“ by running their own grocery company. “ The second story meeting and activities hall was a community gathering place for several years. According to the National Register of Historic Places, “Longtime residents remember this two-story brick building as the place that had the best dances in town.  Today we are continuing its original history, opening our doors for all kinds of community events.
