The story
The building opened on September 4, 1925 as the Oregon Theater, a two-story brick house designed by Hubert A. Williams for about $35,000. It originally had 750 seats, a vaudeville stage, a Wurlitzer organ and a small screen, and it showed vaudeville, Hollywood, art house and Spanish-language films. The Maizel family bought it in 1967, and after that it showed only adult films, with sofas replacing the seats, and for years it was one of the city's best known adult venues. The owner lost it to foreclosure in February 2020 and it went dark that March. It reopened in late 2023 as the Tomorrow Theater, operated by PAM CUT, the Portland Art Museum's film and new media center, with a mission described as multimedia storytelling.
