[2] The Cascade Theatre reopened in 2004 after it was purchased by Southern Oregon University and the JPR Foundation.

The front elevation features storefront at ground level, with ribbon windows on the second floor of the main theater, which is flanked by one and two story retail space.

The infill between the pilasters is fluted, and capped with a cornic that supports the top of the sign, which spells out CASCADE vertically.

The top of the theater building is entirely composed of a richly figured relief frieze depicting California industries, which wrap part way around to the sides, about 5 feet (1.5 m) tall.

The space is richly decorated with custom light fixtures with a highly detailed sloping ceiling.
