Yale Theater pre-dates Capitol Hill’s annexation of Oklahoma City in 1910. In 1946 the Art Deco facade and marquee were added. The theater was recently purchased and is being renovated and redeveloped by local developers Steve Mason and Aimee Ahpeatone.
While plans include interior refurbishments as well as structural and roof repairs, the central piece of the renovation is restoring the Yale’s facade and signature marquee. Funds granted from the Partner in Preservation: Main Streets campaign will be used to restore Yale’s facade and marquee.
