02 May Fox Theater Spokane
In my last post, I discussed some of the inspirations involved in the Capitol Theater. We are fortunate in this era that despite the loss of many great movie houses of old, that others still are being restored to their former glory. The Fox Theater Oakland has been of great inspiration since it was restored to the tune of 86 million dollars. Originally to be called the Bagdhad Theater, the Fox Oakland features middle-eastern influences. Another splendid Fox theater, in Atlanta, was originally designed as a Shriner’s temple and features a mix of North-African and Spanish Style. The Fox Spokane was also beneficiary of a multi-million dollar restoration for its ocean-themed deco grandeur. I was lucky to receive a tour of the theater recently and was stunned into snap-happiness. I hope you enjoy my snaps:
