Liberty Theater (1917)
944 Van
Ness Avenue, Fresno
The oldest surviving movie theater in Fresno, the building still
displays signage for all three of its names: Liberty, Hardy's, and
Mexico. The Liberty Theater opened in November 27, 1917 with a showing of
“When A Man Sees Red”. Most recently, it housed the Spanish
Evangelical Church. But in May 2011, the Grand Old Opry came to town
and played here. So whether Fresnans know the theater as Liberty,
Hardy or the Mexicalian, it has seen some pretty classing
productions.
A guy named Einstein lived close to this location, before the
Liberty Theater was built.
