The Fox Theater is Spokane's finest piece of Art Deco architecture, a 1931 movie palace on Sprague Avenue with an elaborate terra cotta exterior in cream and gold. Inside, the restored auditorium has its original atmospheric ceiling, ornate plasterwork, and excellent acoustics. It is now a performing arts venue and home of the Spokane Symphony.
Even if you don't catch a performance, the building itself is worth stopping to look at. The Fox is the best example of the ambition Spokane had in the interwar years, when it was a genuine regional center and not yet overshadowed by Seattle. Check the box office for what's on during your visit.
