Clements of Morgan, Walls & Clements. The facade of the Mayan Theater includes stylized pre-Columbian patterns and figures designed by sculptor Francisco Cornejo. The building is a prototypical example of the many excessively ornate exotic revival-style theaters of the late 1920s (Mayan revival in this case).
The venue opened in 1927 as a theater, and was later rented by Leon Hefflin Sr. to produce the show "Greatest Negro All Star Musical to Hit Coast.". The show had a run of eleven weeks before moving to New York. In the 1970s and 1980s, the theater was owned by pornographic filmmaker Carlos Tobalina. During that time, the theatre showed pornographic films. Since the 1990s, the Mayan Theater serves as a nightclub and concert venue.
