Information for this tour was contributed by Bob Meza & Ken Roe.

This is a real find. This movie theatre/playhouse has been closed for over 60 years according to a guy I talked to that was doing some restoration inside. This theatre has been used for movie shoots through the years. Many MTV shoots. This auditorium has windows on each side! Something I have only seen once in an Opera House. To get to the projecton booth, you must climb a ladder you can see at the top of the balcony.

The last main use for the building was from the mid-1970s until 1984 when it was the Headquarters of the Gay Metropolitan Community Church.
