The family and I went for a walk downtown, and I wanted to photograph the old Visalia Main Street Theatre as it was photographed in 1949 during it's Gala Opening.

If my memory is correct, I watched the movies Grease and Star Wars at this theater when I was just a little guy.

This old Theatre was designed by famous architect, S. Charles Lee. Simeon Charles designed over 400 theaters throughout California and Mexico, and is most famous for designing the Los Angeles Theatre.

The Los Angeles Theatre is regarded as the finest theater building in Los Angeles.

I'm @runridefly, and I like learning about the local history of the community I live in.
