Category:Fox Theater Pavilion, Hays, Kansas

The Fox Theater, now Fox Pavilion, is a Streamline Moderne style movie theater designed by Kansas City architect Samuel W. Bihr, Jr., that opened in 1950.^[1] The building was renovated and remodeled in 2006 as a wedding pavilion.^[2] In 2019, the building was reopened as an upscale lounge and restaurant with indoor yard games.^[3]

The facade is a modern veneer of the same local Fencepost limestone (with matching blond brick) that was also used to construct several much older large churches, businesses, university, and government buildings in Hays, a number of which are within a block of the theater. The limestone veneer and shiner-laid rock displays cross-sections of many fossils.
