In 1946, The Granada Theater was built as a post World War II Movie Theater. The notable art deco designed by the same artists that worked on Hollywood’s Grauman’s Chinese Theater. Nearly three decades later, in 1977, it was converted into a live music hall. The first time. Ownership had changed hands. Renovations took place. It went back to a movie theater for a bit UNTIL in 2004, current owners Julia Garton and Mike Schoder. In these 16 years of operation, they've put their name on the map for bringing in the talent and bringing in the curious, the fanatic and the love for live entertainment.
