A view of the main entrance to Rockford's historic Coronado Theatre. The marquee and marquee sign shown here replaced the originals during a major renovation of the theatre completed in 2001.
The Coronado Theatre, now known as the Coronado Performing Arts Center, is a 2,400-seat movie palace designed in Spanish Colonial Revival style by architect Frederic J. Klein. Completed in 1927, the Coronado was built to present both films and live entertainment, with a fully equipped stage and orchestra pit.
During the theatre's heyday which lasted from its opening until the 1960s, such famous stage acts as the Marx Brothers, Tommy Dorsey, Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, George Gershwin, Judy Garland, Bob Hope, Sammy Davis Jr., Gypsy Rose Lee, and Milton Berle appeared at the Coronado. Over the years, the Coronado has also played host to high school graduations, political rallies and community events. During his 1960 Presidential campaign, John F. Kennedy made a stop here.
In 1979, the Coronado was added to the National Register of Historic Places. One year later, the Coronado was made an historical landmark of the state of Illinois. In 1984, the Coronado ceased showing movies because of a decline in revenue.
In 1997, the Kerasotes Theater Organization, owner of the Coronado since 1970, donated the property to the City of Rockford. Plans to preserve and renovate the theater followed immediately. The Friends of the Coronado, founded in 1998, began an $18.5 million restoration project a year later. Rockford community members supported the restoration by donating nearly half of the required funds. The project's goals were both to restore the theater's deteriorating interior and bring the building structure up-to-date. After 18 months of construction, the Coronado reopened in 2001 in grand style as a state-of-the-art performance and entertainment facility.
In 2007, the Coronado was again added to the National Register of Historic Places, this time as a contributing property to the West Downtown Rockford Historic District. Additionally, in celebration of the 2018 Illinois Bicentennial, the Coronado Theatre was selected as one of the Illinois 200 Great Places by the American Institute of Architects Illinois component (AIA Illinois).
The city of Rockford is the county seat of Winnebago County, located in north central Illinois, just south of the Wisconsin border. With an estimated population of 145,609 as of 2019, Rockford is the fifth largest city in Illinois.
This is an independent movie theatre situated in historic downtown about a couple blocks west of the Hollywood Circle. The movie theatre is small and very intimate and only has one room where they show movies. The bathrooms are adjacent to the room where the movies are shown and are well-maintained. They also have a food stand upfront.
This property is a designated historic resource or is located within a historic district.

Are there any good art schools in Nevada?; maybe this came from California, I know there are art schools there. It hadto've come from someplace; Color Theory takes effort.

I love diagonal wooden siding!! The bedquilt-style paintjob will be perfect for this.
Concerts etc are also performed here but I know it mostly from pro wrestling events.
It was originally the Empire Theater. Five of the six letters of "Empire" were rearranged to spell "Prime." According to the Bay Area GIS Viewer it was built in 1947, but elsewhere online it said to have opened in 1948. It operated as a theater until 1979 and later was a nightclub. It became the Prime Event Center in 2008.
