One of the finest surviving movie palaces in the American West, Peery's Egyptian Theater opened in 1924 and went full Egyptomania — the Egyptian Revival architecture was at the peak of its craze following the discovery of Tutankhamun's tomb in 1922. The exterior features pharaonic columns, lotus capitals, and hieroglyphic-style decoration, and the interior is even more lavish, with painted ceilings, gilded ornaments, and a ceiling sky that once simulated stars.
The theater was saved from demolition in the 1970s and has been meticulously restored. It now functions as a performing arts centre hosting concerts, theatre productions, film festivals, and the occasional classic film screening. If there's a show on while you're in town, buy a ticket — this is one of those buildings that makes more sense from the inside.
