One of the city's most iconic images is the nearly six-story-high marquee that flashes above this 1921 movie palace, the first of its kind in the United States. Talk about grand: The façade of the French Baroque style building boasts a terra cotta replica of the Arc de Triomphe; the elegant lobby is modelled after the Royal Chapel at the Palace of Versailles, and the auditorium itself seats 3,600. Though it's no longer a movie house, the gorgeously restarted theatre lives on as a venue for live music and events.
