It is individually listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is a contributing property of the Downtown Ponca City Historic District. HistoryThe Poncan Theatre was designed by the Boller Brothers and opened on September 20, 1927. The building and its equipment cost $280,000, and it housed a $22,500 Wurlitzer pipe organ.[2] The building served as a combination vaudeville–movie theater from its opening until the late 1940s when the vaudeville component was discontinued.[3] In 1939, the marquee was replaced with a neon-lit one.[2] In 1954, the marquee was enlarged, obscuring much of the theater's second floor, and was enlarged again in 1962.[2]{{sfn|McNutt|1992|p=1}} In 1985, the theater closed; in 1990, the Poncan Theatre Company was founded to revive it.[3] The building was renovated, which included the removal of the marquee in 1992 and replacement with one matching the 1927 original.[2][3]{{sfn|McNutt|1992|p=1}} The theater reopened on September 18, 1994.[2] The theater was added to the National Register of Historic Places on November 13, 1984.[4] It was nominated for its local significance as the finest example of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture in Ponca City and its role as an entertainment venue.{{sfn|Gaston|2011|p=3}} In 2001, additional documentation on the theater was submitted, revealing that the theater was designed by the Boller Brothers, not John Duncan Forsyth as originally identified in the 1984 nomination.{{sfn|Gaston|2011|p=8}}{{sfn|Borman|1984|p=4}} In 2011, the theater was designated a contributing property of the newly listed Downtown Ponca City Historic District.{{sfn|Gaston|2011|p=8}} At the time, the Poncan Theatre was the only site in the district previously listed on the National Register.{{sfn|Gaston|2011|p=3}} ArchitectureThe north-facing theater is a three-story building that extends {{convert|75|ft|m}} wide.{{sfn|Borman|1984|p=2}} The first floor has a stone facade, while the upper floors are clad in polychrome brick.{{sfn|Gaston|2011|p=8}} The facade features a large, central curvilinear gable parapet rimmed with terra cotta ornamentation and five finials.{{sfn|Gaston|2011|p=8}}{{sfn|Borman|1984|p=2}} The midline of the gable features a two-story rectangular window with stained glass sidelights, topped by a circular stained glass oculus window highlighted by a terra cotta sunburst.{{sfn|Gaston|2011|p=8}}{{sfn|Borman|1984|p=2}}{{sfn|McNutt|1992|p=2}} The central window is rimmed by spiralled Corinthian columns and flanked by three rectangular windows on both sides on the second and third stories.{{sfn|Gaston|2011|p=8}}{{sfn|Borman|1984|p=2}} Above is a terra cotta cornice supporting a red-tiled hip roof. The central entrance is recessed behind the box office, and on either side is a shallow store front.{{sfn|Borman|1984|p=2}} See also
