Cine O'Higgins, Movie theater and historical conservation building in Chillán, Chile.
The O'Higgins Cinema stands at the intersection of O'Higgins Avenue and Libertad Avenue, featuring Art Deco architecture with curved walls and porthole windows.
Built in 1952 by the Menéndez Brothers firm following architect Juan Rau's design, the concrete structure replaced an earlier theater that burned down.
The cinema operated until 1994, screening films for 500 people, and later transformed into a nightclub before becoming vacant.
Located in downtown Chillán between the main square and train station, the building represents local heritage preservation efforts through its protected status.
The structure includes a marquee sheltering ground floor shops and features slate roofing hidden from public view.
