The Fox Riverside Theater is now known as the Riverside Fox Performing Arts Center, a historic and cultural landmark in Riverside, California. The original Spanish Colonial Revival style building opened in 1929 as a vaudeville and cinema theater. It was designed by Los Angeles architect Clifford Balch and engineer Floyd E. Stanberry, who built 305 theaters across the West Coast of the United States. While under construction, the theater was sold to William Fox of Fox Studios, becoming the Fox Riverside Theater. The cinema was used as a Hollywood test site from 1929-1960, being the first movie theater to screen Gone with the Wind on September 9, 1939.
