The Plaza Theater, at 404 Neosho St., was built in 1942. It replaced a 1941-built Plaza Theater, which was destroyed in a flood. Designed by architect Al Hauetter, the two-story brick building is notable for its Moderne-style facade, which features glass block, pigmented glass panels, and glazed ceramic tile. After closing as a movie house in 1989, the Plaza Theatre later became the Flint Hills Opry, a live performance space. It later operated as The Music Box Theatre, another live performance venue, which closed in about 2010. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2005. Photo by Kathy Alexander.
