The Fox Belmont Theatre dates back to 1929 and it’s architect was Reginald F. Inwood. The original design was Pre-Columbian architecture “improved” through the Art Deco (Zigzag) Moderne. The building is still exotic, though it has suffered the loss of the upper part of its corner tower. The above marquee was added in the 1948 remodel.

I attended this theatre several times as a child in the 70s. The interior was a wonderful example of the Skouras style. It is an older house than that, having been remodeled in the 40s. Much of the exterior remains, but all signage and the marquee was removed in the conversion to a gym in 1981. The terrazzo sidewalk remains in the entrance.
