The BORDER THEATER
905 North Conway
The theater was completed in 1942 and is a fine example of a mid twentieth
century motion picture theater. The walls are adorned by southwestern images of desert
and cactus resembling a “border town”, hence the name.
Designed for up to 740 patrons, opening night featured the Roy Rogers movie “Heart of the
Rio Grande”.
In 1995 the new owners began the restoration to preserve the building to its original
condition. This historical landmark, located in downtown Mission, continues to enhance the
quality of life by showcasing feature films to the Mission community.
