The Reseda Theater was designed by S. Charles Lee and opened in 1948. It had been operated by both Pacific Theatres and Metropolitan Theatres. In its final years as a Spanish language house it was advertised as the Cine Reseda. It closed in 1988 and has been sitting vacant. In June 2016 plans were announced for a new Reseda Laemmle Multiplex Theater with 6 screens and 34 senior citizen units on top of and behind the theater building. The RESEDA marquee will be part of the design.
