Lincoln Theatre, Historic movie theater in downtown Marion, Virginia.
The Lincoln Theatre is a movie theater in downtown Marion with three stories located behind the Royal Oak Apartment House, accessed through an arcade entrance on Main Street. It holds around 500 seats and hosts performances, classic film screenings, and live recordings.
The theater opened in 1929 as a movie palace and closed in 1977 before reopening in 2004 following restoration by local community members. This revival showed the community's commitment to preserving an important landmark.
The interior displays six large paintings showing scenes from American and local history, set within Mayan Revival architectural elements. This decoration creates a special connection between the nation's past and the space itself.
The venue is easily accessible through the arcade entrances on Main Street, which makes entry convenient even in bad weather. It is helpful to check the current schedule since performances and screenings vary regularly.
The building uses Mayan temple design elements throughout its structure, making it one of the few remaining theaters with this architectural style. This unusual choice from the 1920s gives the space a visually distinctive identity.
