LOCATION:VENUE The Altria Theater\, originally the Mosque Theater was the 1918 brainchild of Clinton L. Williams\, Potentate of the ACCA Temple\, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. Williams felt his fraternal organization had outgrown its meeting place\, so he set out to build a venue that would outshine any other Shriner facility\, and thus would create an entertainment palace for the City of Richmond. Designed by architects Marcellus Wright\, Sr.\, Charles M. Robinson and Charles Custer Robinson\, the original plans included a 4\,600-seat theater\, four lounges\, six lobbies\, 18 dressing rooms\, 42 hotel rooms\, a gymnasium\, locker rooms\, a pool\, a three-lane bowling alley\, offices and a restaurant called The Mosque Grill. The City purchased the Mosque from the Shriners in 1940 and a 1994-95 renovation restored its splendor. One of the best known and most striking buildings in Richmond\, the Altria Theater also ranks among the City's most popular stages for theatrical and musical performances.
