"Built in 1927, the Cordova Theater is a fine representation of the property type, "Palace-Era Theaters," as described in the National Register Multiple Property Documentation Nomination (MPD), Movie Theaters in Washington State from 1900 to 1948. As explained in the MPD, palace-era theaters represented the zenith of movie theater design and reflected distinctive styles and decorative concepts that were derived from previous traditional prototypes. 1 The Cordova Theater illustrates this phenomenon and is an excellent example of the Spanish Eclectic style. The theater also depicts the Art Deco style, a non-traditional theater design concept, as evidenced in the 1950 addition of a prominent marquee which projects outward from the fa9ade of the building. The theater is highly visible and is located on Grand Avenue in the central business district of downtown Pullman, Washington. With few alterations and still in use as a movie house, the Cordova Theater is well preserved and retains excellent interior and exterior architectural integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association."
