Fox Cinema Center: 970-249-8211

The Fox Theater building of 1929 is of the “Exotic Revival” style, and designed by Dick Dickson.  The theater opened on October 31, 1929 with several unique aspects of construction and use.  The Fox was created for the new format of film, the “talkie” and not the silent pictures that were being phased out at the time.  The building was the first in Montrose to have it’s own self contained telephone system, which improved the operation of the theater for management and viewers.  The dome and minaret convey a Middle Eastern feel to the building, similar to the Egyptian Theater in Delta.
