Fox Theatre/ Meyer Theatre
Built: 1930
Style: Art Deco
Architect: Designer – L.P. Larsen; Immel Construction Co.
Constructed for vaudeville and films, the former Fox Theater has a stone façade with decorated incised cornice and a chevron & ray design. The bays are topped with a green cast stone parapet with horizontal banding. The windows each have a tall inset brick panel with fluted cast stone surrounds. After the Fox’s bankruptcy in 1933, the theatre functioned as the Bay Theatre until 1998, with performers including Liberace, Nat King Cole, Louis Armstrong and Johnny Cash. A restoration beginning in 1998 culminated with the opening of the building as a triplex theater renamed the Meyer Theater. The current interior is defined as Spanish Atmospheric, with textured plaster, gold leaf columns, and statues; the ceiling was restored as a painted midnight blue sky with modern fiber optic lighting giving the effect of stars.
