Boller Brothers

Boller Brothers, often written Boller Bros., was an architectural firm based in Kansas City, Missouri, which specialized in theatre design in the Midwestern United States during the first half of the 20th century.

Carl Heinrich Boller (1868–1946) and Robert Otto Boller (1887–1962) are credited with the design of almost 100 classic theatres ranging from small vaudeville venues to grand movie palaces.

About 20 Boller Brothers works are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Their work spans the US states of Arkansas, California, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Mississippi, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Wyoming.
