Luna Theater

The Luna Theater is a Spanish Colonial Revival building with decorative tilework and stucco walls located on Main Street in Clayton. The structure displays period details that characterize this architectural style.

The building was originally constructed between 1915 and 1916 as the Mission Theater and received its current name in 1935. This name change marked a turning point, leading to recognition by both the National Register of Historic Places and state cultural property lists.

The theater serves as a gathering place for Clayton residents, hosting both current films and community events that bring people together throughout the year. This role as a social hub reflects how such venues shaped entertainment and connection in small towns.

The theater is located on Main Street in the center of Clayton and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should check ahead for showtimes and can arrange advance ticket reservations.

The theater shares its location with the adjacent Eklund Hotel, and both buildings are listed as historic properties. This pairing forms an important part of the historic character along Clayton's Main Street.
