The Fox Theater originally opened in 1928 as a lavish movie palace designed by architect Henry C. Meyer Jr. It operated as a premier cinema venue for decades before falling into disrepair in the 1960s and 70s. After a period of closure and various uses, including as a church, the theater underwent extensive restoration completed in 2009.

Today, the Fox Theater functions primarily as a concert venue hosting a diverse range of musical acts.
