Paramount Theatre
Paramount Theatre (formerly Metropolitan Theater or Grauman's Metropolitan Theater; also known as Paramount Downtown) was a movie palace and office building located at 323 W 6th Street and 536 S Hill Street, across the street from Pershing Square, in the historic core of downtown Los Angeles. It had an additional entrance connecting it to the Broadway Theater District and it was the largest movie theater in Los Angeles for many years.
Why it's on the map
The theater closed in 1960 and the building was demolished in 1962.
It was replaced by a parking lot, which itself was replaced by sixteen story tower in the early 1980s.
Downtown Los Angeles's Paramount Theatre opened as Grauman's Metropolitan Theatre on January 26, 1923.
It was also listed as a contributing property in the Broadway Theater and Commercial District when the district was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
