The Fox Theatre originally opened as the 1,500-seat New Sequoia Theatre in early January 1929, designed in the Atmospheric style with a Spanish courtyard theme.
After a partial collapse of the main auditorium ceiling over the balcony in June 1950, the theatre underwent extensive remodeling on the interiors, specifically in the auditorium area which was re-done in the Skouras style synonymous with Fox movie houses and Fox’s theatre designer Carl G. Moeller. The theatre reopened in mid-September 1950 with a seating capacity of 1,325.
