Стейт Тиътър – Минеаполис

The State opened on Hennepin Avenue in 1921, designed by the Chicago architect J. E. O. Pridmore in a free Italian Renaissance manner, with a glass stage floor lit from beneath and the first well-driven air conditioning in Minneapolis. It seats 2,181. Films ran there until New Year's Eve 1975, with vaudeville, concerts and ballet between; a church occupied the building from 1978 to 1989. It is one of four restored houses in the Hennepin Theatre District, beside the Orpheum, the Pantages and the Shubert.
