Majestic Theatre

Constructed in 1928, at a cost of $3,000,000 this structure was designed by John Eberson for Karl Hoblitzelle, owner of the interstate theatre chain. Chiefly Spanish Colonial Revival in design, its eclectic features include paired columns supporting a full-width canopy; an elaborate marquee; and ornate palace courtyard interior. The Majestic is an outstanding example of the few remaining atmospheric theatres designed by Eberson in the 1920s.

Marker is on East Houston Street.
