Flashback photos: The Fox Theatre, 1929-2019
On Dec. 25, 2019, the Fox Theatre turns 90. It lived to see this milestone because of the "Save the Fox" campaign, which was launched in 1974 and turned the neglected old theater into a beautiful showplace that thrives today. Take a look back at the theater's history in photographs, including some of the legends that have graced the art-deco masterpiece's stage.

If you've lived in Atlanta for more than a week, you probably know the history of the theater backwards and forwards. Conceived as a Shriner's temple and finished as a grand theater, it opened on Christmas Day, 1929, as seen here, with crowds lined up around the block for their first look.
