The Pantages Theatre originally opened pre-1909. It was re-modeled by noted architect B. Marcus Priteca and re-opened on June 30, 1918 with 1,300 seats. In 1930 it was renamed Orpheum Theatre and was operating as a movie theatre from 1932. In 1950, the seating capacity had been slightly reduced to 1,253.
The Orpheum Theatre was demolished in 1958.
