State Theater

It’s too bad that very nice old marquee ca’t be used because of the tree blocking any view of it; I’m just betting that, in Austin, you’d have a hard time getting a permit to cut the tree.

Very Nice looking theatre.

Of the four theatres that Interstate had in downtown Austin, three were located in the same block, the Paramount and state on one side of Congress and the Queen across the street on Congress. All three buildings are still standing and two used for theatre’s.

The State and Paramount can be seen in this photo:

From the outside you would think that the State seated more than the 316 listed on their seating chart. They did a beautiful job on restoration of the State Theatre.
