Scenes from Oroville, CA
Oroville State Theatre, opened in 1928. Lovingly restored. It's on the National Register of Historic Places. I wished I could have seen the inside. I kept finding more interesting things as I was walking and driving around the area.

The Oroville State Theater - view of the exterior. https://www.orovillestatetheatre.com/ Built between 1927 and 1928, the State Theatre was designed by San Francisco architect Timothy Pflueger and opened its doors on April 7, 1928. It was one of several movie palaces owned and operated by the T&D chain throughout California, a number of which Pflueger designed for the company. The State Theatre was Oroville’s first Spanish Colonial Revival style building, one of only two high examples of the style in the city. This style of architecture is growing increasingly rare in California. It was originally popular in California and Florida, but with a massive influx of population and the resulting implications to development, many of the original buildings in California were torn down to make way for new construction. Most of the remaining examples are tucked away in smaller communities where development has occurred at a slower rate and older buildings were left mostly intact. The Oroville State Theatre is one such example, but it is also an example of how limited small town resources make restoration and preservation difficult. It is vital that these communities make every effort to save, salvage, and protect these remaining structures.
