The Yost, designed by architects Harry Frederick Eley and W.W. Kays, first opened as The Auditorium in 1913. It then was renamed the Clunes the same year. It was not until Ed Yost purchased the theater that it acquired the name Yost Theatre. In 1950 the theater was leased to Luis Olivos, father of Louie Olivos Jr.
The Yost Theater is now a nationally recognized Historic Place located in Santa Ana's Downtown Historic District. Under the ownership of the Olivos Family it became a movie house for the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema. In recent years it has housed various church organizations and as of October 2007 is vacant.
