I love diagonal wooden siding!! The bedquilt-style paintjob will be perfect for this.

Concerts etc are also performed here but I know it mostly from pro wrestling events.

It was originally the Empire Theater. Five of the six letters of "Empire" were rearranged to spell "Prime." According to the Bay Area GIS Viewer it was built in 1947, but elsewhere online it said to have opened in 1948. It operated as a theater until 1979 and later was a nightclub. It became the Prime Event Center in 2008.
