Strand Theater, Movie theater in Deanwood neighborhood, Washington, D.C.
The Strand Theater stands at 5131 Nannie Helen Burroughs Avenue NE, featuring a classic early 20th-century movie palace architectural design with 580 seats.
Opening its doors on November 3, 1928, the Strand Theater served the community for over forty years as an African-American entertainment venue until 1959.
The theater provided a complete entertainment complex for the neighborhood, incorporating a movie screen, dance hall, and pool room under one roof.
In 2021, the building underwent a complete transformation, with its interior modified to accommodate residential housing units while maintaining its exterior structure.
The District of Columbia's Preservation League recognized the Strand Theater's importance by designating it as one of Washington's Most Endangered Places.
