Biographical or Historical Note

Originally known as the G & S Theatre, the theater was both designed and built by local contractor Albert M. Hildebrandt. The owners of the building, John Greeott and Eligio Strobino, leased the theater to an experienced theater man, Thomas G. Reaves. It was built not only for films but for vaudeville as well and had a functional stage, dressing rooms, and an orchestra pit; it was renamed the California by 1928. Although the theater survived the 1969 Rogers Creek Fault earthquake that damaged a swath of downtown Santa Rosa, but was closed in 1977 and demolished a short time later to make way for a Macy’s department store and the Santa Rosa Plaza shopping center.
