The Tower was formerly called the Majestic, and dates to the Teens. As a Spanish language movie house, it was the last of the old Mission Street theatre district houses to close.

I remember going here as kid with my family. There was murals on the walls inside the theatre. It might have been a western theme since that or Early California settlements. The last movie I saw here was Zapatos Viejos starring Gloria Trevi which was either 1994 or 1995. It became a cult christian church by some con artists from Brazil who had this thing about holy roses. I remember commercials on spanish tv for it and they showed the inside and they had painted over the murals with white paint. I don't think it operates anymore as a church since there were several countries who had declared them a cult group. In Mexico they were cracking down on them since they were taking advantage of people who were desperate that if the gave certain amount of money they would get the blessed roses and/or ointment they problems would be resolved.

It's not a church any more. Function should be unknown.

posted by ken mc on Sep 13, 2007 at 12:46pm

There should be a For Sale option on the "Function" list.
