Harding Theatre, Gothic movie theater in Haight-Ashbury, San Francisco, United States.
The Harding Theatre stands at 616 Divisadero Street, featuring Gothic Revival architecture with intricate stone details and an ornate facade design throughout its structure.
Reid Brothers architects designed this theater, which opened its doors on April 8, 1926, with the screening of the film Irene starring Colleen Moore.
From 1926 to 1970, the theater operated as a second-run cinema venue, later transforming into a church and currently functioning as Emporium Arcade Bar.
The theater building now houses vintage arcade games, a full-service bar, and performance spaces, making it a modern entertainment destination in San Francisco.
The San Francisco Planning Commission protected this structure in 2008 when preservation groups successfully prevented its demolition for residential development.
