The Lincoln Theater, opened Christmas 1985, was the last theater built by Presidio Theaters. The lobby was an art deco green, with a consierge station used by the manager on duty. It had three THX auditoriums, the largest one with 35/70mm. The auditoriums were unique in that the surround speakers hid behind the drapes.
Presidio folded in 1987, taken over by Act III. Three Dolby Stereo auditoriums were added by taking over retail space across the parking lot, meaning that the addition was not connected to the original building. It was closed in the late 1990’s and has been several things since.

I was at this location for the Blue Genie Art Bazaar held every year before christmas. The building is still in tact and there is still a lot of art deco influance throughout the lobby. They leveled the floors in the screening rooms and there is a full servive bar in the lobby area. It look like the space can be rented for small seminars or corp meetings. Pretty cool location, would have been great fro an “art house” type of theater.
Here is the web page for the MonarchEvent Center which is what the theater has become.
