Fourth Avenue Theatre, Art Deco movie theater in downtown Anchorage, Alaska
The Fourth Avenue Theatre features concrete construction with travertine exterior walls and a prominent marquee displaying geometric patterns and decorative motifs.
Built between 1941 and 1947 by entrepreneur Austin Lathrop, the 960-seat theater opened with a screening of The Jolson Story and operated until the 1980s.
The theater's interior contained silver and gold murals depicting Mount McKinley and Alaska scenes, with a ceiling displaying the Big Dipper constellation.
Located at 630 West 4th Avenue in Anchorage, the building included facilities for radio stations, television studios, administrative offices, and a restaurant.
The theater survived the 1964 magnitude 9.2 earthquake due to its reinforced concrete structure while numerous buildings in Anchorage collapsed.
