Amazing resemblance to Walter Reade’s Mayfair Theater in Asbury Park, designed by NYC architect Richard Lamb.

Am researching Reade for my next book on Asbury Park. Can you tell me more about his West Coast movie theater presence?

According to The Last Remaining Seats the tower was removed from this building due to structural problems.

The Tower theater (and several other downtown LA theaters) appeared in David Fincher’s film “Fight Club”

The Tower opened Oct. of 1927, it seated around 906 people. The theatre is closed but is used for film locations. The Tower closed in 1988. The seats on the main floor have been removed for filming and a dance floor. This theatre was designed by S. Charles Lee in a French-inspired theme. The facade has a Spanish Moorish look and a clock tower. The stained glass above the marquee shows a piece of film. (very nice). If you saw the film “coyote ugly” the last concert is inside the Tower.
