FOX OAKLAND THEATEROakland

The 1928 Fox Oakland Theater Building occupies a full block of Telegraph Ave. between 18th St. and 19th St. in downtown Oakland.

From its opening in 1928 until its closing in 1962 the theater showed a regular bill of movies and its two commercial wings were occupied by retail and office tenants.

The City of Oakland purchased the property in 1996, at a cost of three million dollars, and began a multi-phased process of improving the theater for use as a performing arts center.

The Fox Oakland Theater Building was recognized as Oakland Landmark #23 on March 28, 1978 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places on March 28, 1979.
