El Rey Theatre is a historic theater building in the Ingleside Terraces neighborhood of San Francisco, California, United States.

The building is listed by the city as a San Francisco Designated Landmark since 2017.[1][2][3]

History

The Balboa Theatre (built in 1922) at 1634 Ocean Avenue had preceded the El Rey.[4]

The Art DecoModerne El Rey Theatre building was designed by local architect Timothy L. Pflueger.[1][5] It contains a Шаблон:Convert tower, and the tower once contained an aircraft beacon, and neon lights.[2][6] The El Rey Theatre opened on November 14, 1931, and had 1,800-seats.[7] The opening show was The Smiling Lieutenant (1931), starring Maurice Chevalier.[8] One of the retail spaces next door to the theater was the first location of The Gap (now Gap Inc.) in 1969.[9] In April 1, 1977, the theater closed.[7][10]

In 2016, the building was sold at auction to the "Voice of the Pentacost or A Place to Meet Jesus" church, which later defaulted on their mortage.[1] Since 2021, the former theater building has been slated for redevelopment into a multi-unit housing building.[1][11]
