Liberty Theatre, Mediterranean Revival theater in Astoria, United States.
Liberty Theatre is a movie house featuring Mediterranean Revival architecture located at 1203 Commercial Street. Its grand main auditorium contains twelve oil-on-canvas murals depicting Venetian canal scenes.
The theater opened in 1925 as the first entertainment venue rebuilt following the devastating city fire of 1922. This reopening symbolized community resilience and optimism about Astoria's recovery.
The building was designed by Portland architects Bennes and Herzog as part of a regional theater chain spanning the Pacific Northwest. Inside, Italian Renaissance design elements create an immersive environment that reflects early 20th-century entertainment ideals.
The theater sits in downtown Astoria and is easy to reach on foot from nearby streets. Plan to visit during evening performances when the full experience of the venue comes alive.
Local artist Joseph Knowles personally created the oil-on-canvas murals that adorn the auditorium walls. His hand-painted work from the 1920s represents a direct artistic investment in the building's aesthetic character.
