Valeria Allen and her son, James Edgar Allen, announced the Coronado Theatre project in 1940. Plans by architect O.T. Thurman of El Paso were approved in 1942. The building started and appears to have been stopped due to Wartime shortages. It finally opened on February 3, 1948 with “ Romance of Rosy Ridge.”
The Allens sold the theater in July of 1981 to Warren Theatres Circuit. The venue burned down on August 2, 1984 making its last show, “Purple Hearts” on July 31, 1984. The new-build Coronado Twin Theatre opened on March 8, 1985.
