Building History

Erected at a cost of approximately $300,000, the Admiral Theatre opened during World War II on 05/07/1942, at a time of a drastic build-up of facilities and personnel at Bremerton, WA's Puget Sound Navy Yard. Architects McClelland and Jones designed the theatre for the Portland, OR-based Evergreen State Amusement Corporation.

Ownership turned the 1,500-seat single-screen theatre into a triplex in 09/1979, but this version of the theatre failed by 1988. The Admiral Theatre Foundation, formed in 1990, raised over $4 million for its renovation, enabling its reopening in 1997. The theatre can accommodate live shows as well as exhibit films and can seat 802 patrons. (See Cinema Treasures.org, "Admiral Theater," accessed 03/11/2025.)
