The Luna Theater, named the Mission Theater from its construction in 1916 until 1935, is a two-story building w ith a concrete foundation, an excavated basement, and a barrel roof masked by a stepped parapet with a concrete coping. Sharing a common basement and facade, consisting of the same construction materials, and undertaken as part of a single project is the adjacent 6 Main Street, a former mercantile store now vacant. The building has brick walls faced with pebble-dash stucco facing. A marquee topped by a wall-mounted neon sign, both of which were added in 1935, is located over the recessed entry while a metal awning fronts the adjacent vacant mercantile store. (1)
