Jan. 8, 1916: In downtown Seattle, the Coliseum Theater, advertised as "the world's largest and finest photoplay [film] palace," opened to a capacity crowd. The theater, at Fifth Avenue and Pike Street, was designed by renowned local theater architect B. Marcus Priteca. It showed first-rate films for nearly 75 years before closing in 1990. The old building, with its terra-cotta facade, was threatened with demolition for development, but downtown revitalization efforts saved it, and it reopened in 1994 as the Banana Republic store. A portion of the venue's old balcony remains tucked away in the upper recesses of the building.
