The '''Alameda Theatre''' is an [[Art Deco]] [[movie theatre]] built in 1932 in [[Alameda, California]]. It opened with a seating capacity of 2,168. It was designed by architect [[Timothy L. Pflueger]] and was the last grand [[movie palace]] built in the [[San Francisco Bay Area]]. It closed in the 1980s as a triplex theatre and was later used as a gymnastics studio. A restoration and expansion project was completed in 2008, making the historic theater the primary anchor of an eight-screen [[Multiplex (movie theater)|multiplex]].<ref name="CinemaTreasures"/>
