The Warner Grand Theater was designed by architect B. Marcus Priteca and interior designer A.T. Heinsbergen and opened on January 20, 1931. Apart from this theater, which Jack Warner called "The Castle of Your Dreams", Priteca designed two other art-deco palaces that were located in Beverly Hills and Huntington Park. The Warner Grand is the last of the three original theaters left intact and it has been undergoing gradual refurbishment after a thirty-year decline.
