The Granada Theater was built between 1929 and 1930, in the Moorish Revival style. It was the first theater west of the Mississippi to show a talking movie. William Cutts of Portland who designed several of Universal Film Corporation's theaters, also designed the Granada. It is part of The Dalles Commercial Historic District and was bought by the city in 2010. The art deco interior is divided into several small theaters which are used for musical events, comedy evenings and private functions. The Spotlight Café, a Chicago-style cocktail lounge and restaurant, is on the premises. The inaugural Festival of Jazz was held at the theater in May 2019.
