Riverside has several distinctive landmarks. The historic County Courthouse replicates the facade of the 1900 Paris Exposition's Grand Palace of Fine Arts. The Fox Theatre was the first place to show "Gone with the Wind" and has hosted Bing Crosby and Judy Garland. The Theatre was recently renovated and is an excellent example of Spanish Colonial Revival style of architecture. A fine illustration of the Queen Anne style is the two-story Heritage House on Magnolia Avenue. The Municipal Auditorium is another landmark in the city. The 1920 structure was designed in the Moorish-Mission Revival fashion. The Auditorium is known for its wonderful sunken garden.¹ On the lighter side, the "World's Largest Paper Cup" is located in the city. At over three stories high, this landmark is hard to miss. At one time, the cup marked the Dixie Corporation manufacturing plant but the plant is now closed.
