California Theater - Pittsburg, CA - Vintage Movie Theaters on Waymarking.com

"On May 4th, 1920, the California Theater opened its doors for the first time and hosted a gala event. The theater cost $65,000 to build, and was a landmark for Pittsburg, showing the best in Hollywood films and booking entertaining vaudeville acts. There was a constant supply of live performances available, and was a stomping ground for many performers in, among others, the Fox vaudeville circuit.

The California Theater has sat unattended and empty since the week of February 15th, 1954. Because of inattention the theater has suffered extensive damage to the inside of the auditorium, including fallen plaster, lost artwork on the walls, and sagging and weakening throughout the main hall. Any vestige of being a movie house is gone; no seats, no movie screen, no projectors. The original marquee was removed in 1975." (visit link)
