Constructed in 1928 at a cost of $3,000,000, this structure was designed by John Ebersonf or Karl Hoblitzelle, owner of the interstate theatre chain. Chiefly Spanish Colonial Revival in design, its Eclectic features include paired columns supporting a full-width canopy; an elaborate Marquee; and ornate place courtyard interior. The majestic is an outstanding example of the few remaining atmospheric theatres designed by Eberson in the 1920s. Recorded Texas Historic Landmark-1991.
