The State Theatre was designed by San Francisco architect Timothy Pflueger. It was one of the small local theaters owned and operated by the T&D chain throughout California, a number of which Pflueger designed for the company. The State Theatre was Oroville's first Spanish Colonial Revival style building, one of only two high examples of the style in the city. See the roof line, the detail along the exterior façade. Much of the original detail and interior finishing has been damaged or removed over the years.
