Indian Hill Theater

Indian Hills Theater, Omaha, Nebraska by Richard Crowther, 1962.

Designed by an innovative Denver architect, the Indian Hills was the last of three "hatbox" round Cinerama movie theaters built by the Cooper foundation.  The base of the exterior of the building and other masonry was made up of black Roman brick, which was rare and expensive at the time.  The upper portion of the exterior, formed of insulated Monopanels, was of a burnt orange color called Swedish red.  The final cost to build The Indian Hills was a million dollars, making it the most expensive movie theater built in Omaha at that time.  The theater was closed in September 2000 and sadly, demolished in August 2001.
