'''Fox Theatre''' is the name given to several large movie theaters in the [[United States]] dating from the late 1920s either built by movie mogul [[William Fox (producer)|William Fox]] or subsequently purchased by the Fox West Coast theater chain. |

|||
==Architectural styles== |
|||
Many of these grand "[[movie palace]]s" were built with a mishmash of architectural styles drawn from [[Chinese architecture|Asian]], [[Indian architecture|Indian]], [[Iranian architecture|Persian]], and [[Islamic architecture|Moorish]] influences. |
|||
==Restorations== |
|||
The theatres still standing today share almost identical histories of decline and fall into disrepair with subsequent campaigns to save, restore and preserve the architectural relics. The [[Fox Theatre (Detroit)|Detroit Fox Theatre]] is the largest of the Fox Theatres and was fully restored in 1988. Other restorations include [[Tucson, Arizona]], where the Fox Theatre reopened in January 2006 after remaining closed for thirty-two years, or in [[Fullerton, California]], where a non-profit community project is actively restoring the theatre. Several theatres, including the Fox in [[Atlanta, Georgia]] and in [[Visalia, California]] were only closed briefly before restoration began. There is also a Fox Theatre, originally named the Electric Theatre, in [[Springfield, Missouri]] which is currently used as a [[church (building)|church]]. |
