This house opened in 1925 as the Plainview Theatre. It was listed as such in the 1926 FDY with seating for 650. An article about the project in the April 18, 1925 Exhibitors Herald said that construction was underway, and noted that the new building would replace an existing Plainview Theatre, and that it had been designed by Amarillo architect Lawrence Kerr.
Good to see that it is still being used, and from their website looks real nice,seats over 500 now.
