Atlanta's Fox Theatre, originally the Yaarab Temple Shrine Mosque, was designed in the late 1920's as headquarters for the 5,000-member Shriner's organization. It was a beautifully outlandish, opulent, grandiose monument to the heady excesses of the pre-crash 1920's, a mosque-like structure complete with minarets, onion domes, and an interior decor which was even more lavish than its facade.




The historic Fox theatre is one of the most gorgeous theatres I have attended. It's beauty and charm rivals those found on Broadway. A must-see when you're in the city!




The Fox is a beautiful theatre, but it was not however the theatre for the premire of Gone With the Wind...that's was the Lowe's Grand in 1939.
