[1][2] The Kiggins Theatre was designed in the Art Deco style by architect Day Walter Hilborn.

[3] The theater opened on April 24, 1936, with a showing of the film She Married Her Boss, starring Claudette Colbert and Melvyn Douglas.

[4] In 1980, the theater was acquired by a local church, and stopped showing commercial movies in favor of Christian films.

The theater sustained moderate smoke and water damage after an electrical fire in 1981 and remained closed for nearly two years.

The theater was renovated again in early 1997, when some architectural features were restored, and more modern projection and sound equipment were installed.
