Historic Places in 1993. Questions raised by Warren during the application process, pertaining the mysterious origin story, the motivations of the developers of such a large theater, designed by a renowned architect, in a pre-Strip Las Vegas with a population of less than 14,000, how such construction could ever have been allowed during the strict wartime rationing of the Office of Price Administration and Emergency Price Control Act of 1942, and also the simultaneous re-naming of the adjoining street to Maryland Parkway, inspired her son Jonathan Warren to publish a complete investigation of theses origins in 2015. Dapper Companies utilized all the Warren research and more in successfully adding the Huntridge Theater to the City of Las Vegas Historic Register on September 1, 2021.

The Huntridge Theater closed on July 31, 2004, almost 60 years after it opened.

In July 2012, a local non-profit organization called The Huntridge Foundation had been working to preserve the architectural integrity, history and culture of the Huntridge Theater and the surrounding community. Among other activities, the foundation conducted oral history interviews of longtime Las Vegans who experienced the theater when it was open, collected theater memorabilia and photographs for an historic archives collection to be donated to the University of Nevada, Las Vegas Libraries Special Collections Department upon completion.
