The Burbank Theatre opened in 1949. It operated as an art house theater until the late-1960’s, the Burbank Theater became a revival house until 1973. Shaw Theaters relinquished operation in 1973.
The Burbank Theater showed porn films from 1973 to 1977, became a revival house again in 1977-1978, then switched back to porn (triple bills) in 1978-2000.
The Burbank Theater was shut down in March of 2000 as a public nuisance by the Santa Clara County DA.

Much more of the exterior is now painted in a warm sandstone/orangish color. This painting process seems to be added to whenever the owner can afford more paint and/or labor.
