The area was originally intended to be the Royal Suite, an area for entertaining. The idea was abandoned. The area was given to Insurance Company of America as a hospitality area, followed by a stint as an office for Disneyland International. Finally, the area was turned into an art gallery in order to shorten the line for Pirates of the Caribbean. The gallery displayed various pieces of art produced by Walt Disney Imagineering. It also provided a service that allowed people to buy reproductions of the art.
