Granada Theater, Moorish Revival movie theater in The Dalles, United States
The Granada Theater is a three-story movie house with Moorish Revival architecture in The Dalles, featuring ornate decorations typical of 1920s venues throughout its exterior and interior. The building displays intricate architectural details that reflect the design style popular in early entertainment buildings.
The theater was built in 1929 for Universal Film Corporation and M.R. Matthew, becoming the first location west of the Mississippi River to show sound films. This achievement marked an important moment in how motion pictures were experienced across the country.
The theater serves as a gathering place where locals and visitors come together for films, live performances, and community events throughout the year. It reflects how the city values entertainment and cultural expression in its downtown area.
The building features modern equipment including an advanced sound system and a full-service bar with dining options for guests. Visitors will find that the historical setting combines with contemporary amenities to create a comfortable experience.
The corner marquee was added during the 1950s and underwent restoration in 2017 to match the original 1929 color scheme. This careful work preserved the sign while honoring both its mid-century addition and earlier origins.
