Photographs: Then and Now (Fox Theater)

The following is from a work-in-progress about the history of Fullerton. You can support my ongoing research and writing on Patreon.

For this series, I compare a historic photo of Fullerton with a contemporary one from approximately the same angle. Below are two photographs of what is now called the Fox Theater–one from 1926 (when it was called The Mission Theater), and one from 2023. When the Fox opened in 1925, it was called Chapman’s Alician Court Theatre. The following year, the named changed to the Mission Theater. The venue would change names five times before becoming the Fox Theater. To learn more about the Fox Theater and restoration efforts, visit www.foxfullerton.org.
