The original architects of the Alexander Theatre in 1924-25 were Arthur G. Lindley and Charles R. Selkirk. They designed the Alex in the Art Deco Style. As a first-run movie house, the Alex closed in 1991.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, level of significance: Local. The Alex hosted vaudeville troupes into the 1930s and movie previews into the 1960s.

S. Charles Lee performed a thorough renovation of the Alex in 1939-1940; the theatre's front facade was re-worked ("modernized") by Lee, who added an advertising tower at that time. Despite efforts to tear the building down, the Glendale Redevelopment Agency bought the Alex Theatre in 1992 for $6.2 million in order to renovate it.
