The Tower Theatre sits on a corner with its immense blue and white Tower sign. Another historic theatre with an immense archway above the marquee, the Tower sports a "for lease" sign. This theatre was built in 1927.
The Rialto is next on your trip westward. A nice marquee graces the front of this former theatre that was built in 1917. Now, flea market types of stores are inside.
Orpheum Theatre Nearing the end of the westward trip down Broadway, the Orpheum Theatre and its immense sign on top of the building can not be missed. Here's a shot of the Orpheum marquee at night.
Orpheum Signage Work is being done on the Orpheum rooftop and blade neon, which are nearing completion and will look great. The grand reopening is currently scheduled for September. (info courtesy Chris Nichols)
At the West-end of Broadway lies the United Artists Theatre, built in 1927. This theatre is now a church, owned by Dr. Gene Scott.
On the next block northward is Hill Street, home of the ornate Mayan Theatre. A visit here and you will revel at the intrinsic sculpturing and gilded relief designs on the mayan. The Mayan is now a nightclub.
Finally, you reach the end of the South Broadway Theatre District and the Belasco. This historic theatre is now abandoned.
