Mission Mission reader “Stucco Sux” brings us news of Tower Theater’s new asking price:

FYI, Tower Theater on Mission near 20th is up for sale. Asking price: $1,988,000.

Still largely intact inside according to the listing. What a fun tour that would be to take with the realtor. I wish someone would check it out and take lots of pictures…

Johnny of Burrito Justice follows up and proves he is more of a journalist than I am:

Hey, I’ve been waiting for it to break the $2 million mark!

Oct 2006 – $2.6m
Feb 2007 – $2.5m
Nov 2007 – $2.4m

Closed as a theater in 1996 — the last one on Mission to close. Used as a church until 2005. Apparently there were murals inside that were painted over. Some photos of the old interior, and random trivia here.

Collage of the exterior in 1942, 1964 and today here, along with some of the other theaters on Mission.
