According to Naylor, the Fox Spokane contained 2,350 seats.
David Naylor, in the book, American Picture Palaces: The Architecture of Fantasy, wrote: "R.C. Reamer, the architect of Seattle's Fifth Avenue Theater, built the Fox (1931) in Spokane. Underwater murals recall what might be called the aquarium deco of the Avalon on Catalina Island, but the Fox lacks the spatial appeal of the Avalon. The lobbies and auditorium of the Fox are flat and boxy." (See David Naylor, American Picture Palaces: The Architecture of Fantasy, [New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold Company, 1981], p. 172.)
The auditorium had been twinned by 1981.
