Azteca Theater

Viewing: Photo | Street View

The Azteca Theater opened in 1948 as a venue for both live and film entertainment, and once drew some of the most famous Mexican singers of the day. Before it closed years ago, the Azteca Theater was a dollar movie house showing kung-fu movies.

Closed as a movie theater now for many years, the Azteca Theater, located in Fresno’s Chinatown, was purchased by theater organ enthusiast David Owens who has transformed its lobby into a gallery and gift shop.
