Orpheum Theater, Historic theater in Downtown St. Louis, United States.
The Beaux-Arts style theater features a terra cotta facade with monumental sculptures, decorative elements, and a detailed interior with a magnificent dome ceiling.
Built in 1917 by millionaire Louis A. Cella for $500,000, the theater began as a vaudeville house before Warner Brothers converted it to a movie theater in 1930.
The theater earned recognition on the National Register of Historic Places in 1985 under its temporary name, the American Theater, highlighting its architectural importance.
Located at 416 N. 9th Street, the theater remains closed since 2012, with various ownership changes and renovation plans marking its recent history.
The Orpheum Theater introduced modern ventilation systems, advanced heating, superior acoustics, and state-of-the-art electrical equipment during its 1917 construction.
