The Academy Theater

The Academy Theater
Inglewood, California (CA), US
Opened on November 7, 1939 and designed by architect S. Charles Lee, the Academy Theater, a classic Art Moderne style structure, was originally designed to house the Academy Awards.

Sadly, however, the Academy Theater never did host the ‘Oscars’, but it was often the location of film premieres and served as a major suburban theater for the Fox West Coast Theatres chain.

The Academy Theater continued to show movies until 1976, when it became a church.
