Long Description:The Granada Theatre was built in 1925 by Dr. C.L. Emmons. It was operated by West Coast Junior Theatres until the 1940's when it was acquired by the Fox West Coast Theatres chain. The building was designed by architect L.A. Smith and cost $200,000. No longer showing movies, it has since become a church.
