Access to the theatre is through a broad arcade on the ground floor of the apartment house. The interior of the theatre is designed to suggest an ancient Mayan temple. It also features six large paintings, depicting scenes from American and local history. The theatre closed in 1977.[3] It later reopened in the 2000s as a community performing arts center.
