The Granada Theater was built in 1926 of reinforced concrete with a wood truss roof, interior lath and plaster walls, and hardwood floors. The Portland Cement Company considered it one of the prettiest and most artistic buildings in Southern California. The Granada was the second Fox Theater built on the West Coast and was considered one of the "Baby Foxes." In addition to showing motion pictures, it was also used to host a live vaudeville theater. The three-story Emmons Building consists of a movie theater, first floor retail shops, and second and third floor offices. L.A. Smith of Los Angeles was the architect and Frank W. Edwards of Ontario was the builder. The total cost of construction was $100,000. The Granada Theater/Emmons Building is located at 303 North Euclid Avenue. #125to125 #CelebrateOntario
