The Almeda opened in 1927 seating 600. It was renamed the 30th Avenue in 1937 and then the Cine 30 in 1964. With new ownership the name went back to the Almeda in 1969.
The exterior looks much like it did some 70 years ago when it first opened with its Mediterranean Clay tile roof and stucco walls. The marquee has been removed and poster cases boarded over.

"The Alameda Theatre, located at 3000 NE Alberta Street, opened its doors to the public in 1927. Renamed in 1937 and 1964, it became the 30th Avenue Cinema then Cine 30. In 1969 the theater returned to its original name. After 51 years of service, the theater closed in 1978. The Alameda is one of a handful of motion picture houses that have been converted into churches. The building was home first to the Macedonia Church of God and later to the Victory Outreach Church , its current occupant. The exterior still looks much as it did 74 years ago, with its distinctive Mediterranean clay tile roof and stucco walls. The marquee was removed years ago, but painted-over movie poster boards at the corner entrance summon up the once busy theater."
