Other than being twinned down the middle, this cozy postwar theater has changed very little. It takes its name from an older Granada Theatre which stood across the street and burned.
Moderne murals of flamingoes, herons, and magnolias against a crimson background line the sidewalls. Swirling Moderne style flourishes decorate the ceiling between the air vents.
The Granada Theatre was closed in November 2005. It was sold to a property developer who owns the adjacent Downtown Mall.

To all who are concerned – the Granada is scheduled to be demolished to make room for new development. If you are interested in saving the Granada be loud and be active. We can stop this if we only care enough to make our voices heard. Since the City bought it (with our money)– it is Our Theater. I can’t stand to think that it is going away to make room for more parking. A multi plex in the next block is NOT the Granada. Stand up and be counted or don’t complain when it is gone.
We have set up a petition on line at www.savethegranada.com for any and all to voice their opinion about demolishing these old treasures. Help us out. Thanks

Here is a recent article about the Morgan Hill’s invitation to developers regarding certain downtown properties, including the Granada. Reuse as a theater is not ruled out, but its fate appears to rest on which proposal is accepted: View link
Another article about redevelopment that may occur that may doom the Granada, at least as a theater: View link
