Golden Gate Theater, a California Churrigueresque-style movie palace built in 1927, is a historic landmark located on Whittier Boulevard in East Los Angeles. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, the theater originally seated nearly 1,500 people and was known for its ornate Churrigueresque design.
After closing in 1986 and surviving the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake, the theater faced preservation battles as developers and preservationists debated its future. Eventually converted into a drugstore and reopened in 2012, the Golden Gate Theater stands as a testament to the architectural heritage of East Los Angeles.
