Orpheum Theatre

Built and financed by local entrepreneur Joseph F. Langer, the Orpheum Theatre was part of the Chicago-based Orpheum Circuit theaters and opened in 1927 as the largest theatre in Canada and the Pacific Northwest. Over the years, audiences were entertained there by symphonies, vaudeville acts, movies, and radio shows. Its opulent interior decor was restored by Thompson, Berwick & Pratt Architects in 1975-77, and the building now serves as the city's premier concert hall.
