Lincoln Theatre, Egyptian Revival theater in King-Lincoln District, Columbus, United States.
The Lincoln Theatre features ornate Egyptian-style decorations throughout its interior, with detailed stage designs and a grand ballroom for performances.
The theater opened its doors in 1928 as the Ogden Theatre and Ballroom, becoming a central entertainment venue during the period of segregation.
The Lincoln Theatre provided a performance space for numerous jazz musicians, including Count Basie and Miles Davis, while offering accommodation to African-American artists.
The venue underwent a $13.5 million renovation in 2009, adding modern sound systems and lighting equipment for enhanced performance capabilities.
The theater's Egyptian Revival architecture incorporates authentic design elements created entirely by African-American craftsmen in the 1920s.
