Listed on the National Register of Historic Places The Lark is one of only 50 single-screen Art Deco theaters still open and operating as a "movie house" in the United States. Built in 1940, the Theater anchors the north end of Larkspur's historic downtown district and is designated a Larkspur Heritage Building. The Lark's success is a model for small towns everywhere to save their rapidly disappearing local historic theaters, and with them, unique neighborhood experiences. The Town of Larkspur has become known for its restaurants, cafes and shopping along with plenty of FREE parking.
