It was built in c.1948-49 to replace the previous Dream Theater, which had been built as the "Main Street Theater" in 1929, remodeled, and renamed in 1934. The previous theater was destroyed by fire on April 19, 1947. The new theater was designed to be "a modern, futurist, up-to-date, fireproof theater that would rival theaters in large cities."[2]
It was designed by architects Robert O. Boller and Dietz Lusk Jr. of Kansas City, Missouri, and is a late example of the Art Deco style.[2]
