Fox Theatre
Fox Theatre is the name given to several large movie theaters dating from the late
1920s either built by movie mogul
William Fox or subsequently purchased by the Fox West Coast theater chain. Many of these grand "movie palaces" were built with a mish-mash of architectural styles drawn from Asian, Indian, Persian, and Moorish influences. The theatres still standing today share almost identical histories of decline and falls into disrepair with subsequent campaigns to save, restore and preserve the architectural relics. Some campaigns succeed, as in Tucson, Arizona, where the Fox Theatre re-opened in January 2006 after remaining closed for thirty-two years.
