Golden Gate Theater, Historic movie theater in East Los Angeles, United States.
The Golden Gate Theater features Mediterranean Revival architecture with a grand entrance inspired by Spain's University of Salamanca portal.
The theater, constructed in 1927 by Peter Snyder at Whittier and Atlantic Boulevards, became the first East Los Angeles building on the National Register of Historic Places.
The theater served as a central entertainment venue for East Los Angeles residents, with a capacity of 1,500 seats for film screenings and performances.
Located at 903 South Atlantic Boulevard, the structure now functions as a CVS pharmacy while maintaining its original architectural exterior features.
The surrounding Vega Building suffered destruction in the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake, leaving the theater structure as a standalone historical landmark.
