Aztec Theater and Building, 1928
At the corner of Commerce and N. St. Mary’s Street, a six-story office building surrounds one of San Antonio’s grand “exotic theme” movie palaces. The theater entrance is around the corner on St. Mary’s Street. Belying its name, the Aztec Theater features elaborate Mayan and Mesoamerican influenced motifs, colorful mosaics, and lavish details in the lobby and auditorium. Little has changed except for the removal of a large, Aztec stone calendar replica that once graced the lobby and the addition of a river entrance at the rear of the building along the River Walk.
