More Info

In the late 20th century, developers wanted to raze the building to install a new multiplex, but public outcry saved the theater. The company built its multiplex next door, capitalizing off the historic structure while also supporting it financially with the additional screens. The theater is now one of the main locations for the San Luis Obispo International Film Festival.
