The concrete shell of the Campus survives, its fly tower calling attention to anyone who cares to look that there once was a theatre on the spot. The 1951 Film Daily Yearbook lists it as operating, but judging from the architectural style of the facade that was applied in its long-ago conversion to office and retail, it couldn’t have operated as a theatre much beyond that date.
This was also listed as the Fox Campus.

The Campus Theatre was built in 1914.
Here is the photo that KCK posted on 12/9/04.
Nice to at least see a view of the vertical. This is the only photo I’ve ever seen of the Campus while still a theatre. I can see the dome of UC Berkeley’s International House (still extant) in the distance at the end of the street. I recall that building was opened in 1931. My landlady when I was living in Oakland in the ‘80s was a resident of International House that year that it opened, so the photo would date after 1931.
