Fox Theatre, Theatre in Redwood City, California, US

The Fox Theatre at 2215 Broadway in Redwood City, California, opened in 1929 as the New Sequoia Theater. Its exterior was designed in a Gothic style by the San Francisco firm Reid & Reid, while the interior carries Moorish detailing that owner Ellis John Arkush assembled from venues he visited in Europe.

The Fox Theatre opened on January 2, 1929 as The New Sequoia Theater, built by Ellis John Arkursh to show motion pictures. Arkush gathered architectural details on a tour of Europe, giving the interior a Moorish feel and the exterior a Gothic one, executed by the San Francisco firm Reid & Reid. Fox West Coast bought it within months of opening; it closed for four months of renovation in June 1950 and reopened that September for live shows. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993, went into foreclosure in 2009, and was bought and reopened by Eric and Lori Lochtefeld in 2010.

The Fox Theatre is in Redwood City, not Pomona. Its interior was shaped by owner Ellis John Arkush, who gathered favourite architectural details on a tour of Europe to create a Moorish feel, while Reid & Reid of San Francisco gave the exterior its Gothic look.

The venue is wheelchair accessible, and tickets can be bought online or at the box office before a show. Popular events tend to sell out early, so it is worth checking availability well in advance.

Ellis John Arkush gathered architectural details on a tour of Europe and used them to shape the theatre's Moorish interior, while the exterior follows a Gothic design by the San Francisco firm Reid & Reid. The building was renamed the Fox Theatre only months after opening, when the Fox West Coast chain bought it.
