The Roxy Theatre in Cascade, Idaho was, and still is, the most beautiful building in Cascade, Idaho. Although, the winters have been hard on the outside of the building including the marquee, The inside is is still as grand as the day it first opened. Most of the interior is original from its opening day Friday July 14, 1939 (just ask the manager to point the original details).
The Roxy Theatre was designed by architect Hugo Claussen of Salt Lake City, to be a wonderful blend of old Hollywood glamour and small town charm. It was the most technologically advanced theatre built in Idaho at the time, at the amazing price of $25,000. With state-of-the-art projectors and a sound system to match, the Roxy Theatre was the ultimate movie experience. Don’t let the age of the building fool you! The Roxy Theatre is continually updating the projection equipment to ensure that every film is viewed at the highest quality.
In February 2013, the Roxy Theatre was saved by the locals from closure. It will be renovated, including replacement of old seats etc.

The Cascade Theatre was located in a completely different location and closed when The Roxy opened. It roughly stood where the library now stands. The Roxy opened with its name in 1939.
