FOX THEATRE MAKES HISTORIC PLACES REGISTRY

From the Orange County Register Nov 7, 2006

The National Park Service has listed the Fox Fullerton Theatre complex on the National Register of Historic Places. The designation protects the theater and adjoining retail spaces housed in the Firestone building from being razed or significantly altered, according to a statement issued by the Fullerton Historic Theatre Foundation. Further, the Fox can now qualify for tax credits estimated at 20 percent the cost of the rehabilitation project. Volunteers are hoping the $20 million restoration will open by January 2010.
