Casino Theatre - San Diego, CA - Vintage Movie Theaters on Waymarking.com

This former theater is now Ghirardelli Ice Cream & Chocolate...but maintains the historic but converted marquee.
A plaque near the entrance reads:

"50 The Casino Theatre, 1912. The first theatre to be built with the new building ordinance for fire safety. It had two doors near the stage for fire escape and a five-foot-wide exterior passage on both sides and the rear for the protection of other buildings in case of fire. However, two years after construction, the northern passage was occupied by a food stand, and the southern passage contained a shoe shining establishment."
