Originally constructed as the New Lincoln Theatre
by the architectural firm of Miller and Warnecke,
this building housed Pleasanton's first moving picture
house and opened in 1927. In 1937 the theatre
became The Roxy Theatre after an ownership change.
In 1955, due to the popularity of drive-in theatres,
the Roxy closed. The building has since been
occupied by Sletten's Department Store followed
by Daughtery's Department Store and more recently
Main Street Antiques prior to its rebirth in 1999 as
The Wine Steward at the RoxyErected by Wine Steward at the Roxy.
