The D & R Theatre was built in 1923/24 by Ed Dolan, hence the “D” in D & R. The original decoration was Adam in style, with delicate plaster ornamentation and crystal chandeliers. The auditorium held 5 large chandeliers and 8 boxes, 4 on either side of the balcony. The walls were decorated with Northwest logging and forest murals.

The original seating capacity was 1500. There is a large stage and 2 floors of dressing rooms. There was also a large pipe organ that accompanied the silent films. Vaudeville was the original main entertainment at the D & R.

The lobby had 2 large chandeliers and more murals with wicker furniture on the mezzanine level. The original exterior had a metal cornice on the top of the building, a simpler marquee, and a box office built into the lobby between the entrance doors.
