Castro Theatre

The Castro Theatre was built in 1922 by pioneer San Francisco theatre entrepreneurs, the Nasser brothers, who started with a nickelodeon in 1908 in the Castro neighborhood. The Castro was built at a cost of $300,000. The Castro's designer was Timothy L. Pflueger (1894-1946), who went on to become a famous Bay Area architect. In 1977, the Castro was designated a City of San Francisco registered landmark, number 100. It was one of the few remaining movie palaces in the nation from the 1920's that is still in operation.
