The Majestic Theatre, designed by C. Howard Crane, opened on April 1, 1915. The theatre originally seated 1,651 people (at the time the largest theatre in the world built for the purpose of showing movies)
The theatre eventually closed, and the building was used as a church for a time, and later as a photographic studio. It lay vacant for ten years. The present owner purchased the building in 1984.
The Majestic Theatre now operates as part of the Majestic Theatre Center, which includes the nearby Garden Bowl, The Majestic Cafe, The Magic Stick, and Sgt. Pepperoni's. The Majestic houses live music acts, a bar, and you can also bowl or play Billiards.
