David Gebhard and Tom Martinson’s Guide to the Architecture of Minnesota says that the Chief Theatre was designed by Liebenberg & Kaplan, and built in 1937. The finding aid to the Liebenberg & Kaplan papers at the University of Minnesota Libraries lists the Chief as a 1937-38 project. The style of the building is streamline modern.
