The Historic Patricia Theatre in Powell River is the longest continuously running movie theatre in Canada, and the only movie theatre in Powell River. The building is an example of the Spanish Revival expression of the Arts and Crafts movement, which is rarely seen in Canada and more common to California, Florida and Texas. In addition, it is one of only a handful of surviving atmospheric theatres in all of Canada, where the architectural elements and ornamentation evoke a sense of being outdoors.
