Mayan Theater (Denver)
 The Mayan Theater is a movie house that opened in Denver, Colorado in 1930 and was part of the Fox Theater Corporation and Fox Intermountain Theaters. Its life as a Fox Theater is denoted on top of its neon marquee. As with many theaters across the U.S., it ran a slate of A and B movies throughout the day. During the Great Depression, the theater held grocery nights when customers had the opportunity to win food. The theater, located at 110 Broadway, closed in 1984. It underwent a $2 million renovation and conversion and reopened in 1986 as a three-plex by dividing the balcony into two additional small theaters. The interior walls, decor and lobby all were restored. Landmark Theaters has operated the theater as an art house since it reopened. The Mayan is one of the country's three remaining theaters designed in the Art Deco Mayan Revival style.[1] The city of Denver has declared it to be a historic landmark.[2] ReferencesExternal links39°43′07″N 104°59′14″W / 39.71866°N 104.98721°W
