It was in derelict condition then, but back in the late 80’s when I lived in Oakland, I was quite taken by the ruins of the Moulin Rouge and wondered what it was like in its heyday. Somewhere I think I have some photos of it from that time.
I also have just unearthed a TV news report that briefly shows the theatre, in the abandoned state it was in at the time, in the late 80’s:

By the way, the view that comes up (at least as of June 2014) in the Google map street view above, is across from the Moulin Rouge. Just drag your mouse to see the actual location across the street.
