On July 7th the San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved the Metro Theater as Landmark #261. This nomination has been passionately debated from all sides. The main point of contention was whether or not to include interior features in the designation report. My own opinion is that breaking up an historic structure into features that are "public" and not, is a terrible way to think about a building and leads to poor design.
