End of The I-Beam
The I-Beam closed in 1994 after a long battle with neighbors over sound issues. Live rock music shows over the last few years were few and far between. The Sunday Night Tea Dance continued until July 1992, but the last year had few patrons because by that time house music had become more popular than modern rock among gays who liked to go dancing.
New Wave City, San Francisco's First & Foremost 80's Dance Party, presented its "Just Can't Get Enough" event at the I-Beam on the last night of the I-Beam's operation, July 23, 1994.
After the I-Beam closed, the Park Masonic Hall, its former location, remained vacant for 10 years, was torn down, and an apartment house with retail at street level was constructed there in 2004.
