The murals were painted by noted artist J. Charles Schnoor, “grandson of Baron Jacob Carlzevalt Von Schnoor, who was knighted by King Ludwig of Bavaria for his work in illustrating the German bible,” according to the website.
The theater originally contained 520 seats and was reportedly built for $100,000 by a partnership of Dr. L.A. Hubbard and Thomas F. Murphy.
In 2007, the two-story theater was included in the U.S. Department of Interior’s National Register of Historic Places. According to the Interior Department’s registration form, “The facade is symmetrical, and is topped by a crenellated parapet flanked by small towers and employs a variety of details, including blind arcades, decorative brackets, oriels for lighting effects, and polychromatic finishes suggestive of a Late Gothic Revival style castle.”
