Newton Theater, Art Deco movie theater in Brookland, Washington, D.C., United States.
The Newton Theater features a glazed yellow brick facade, a streamlined corner portal, and a prominent ziggurat sign at 3601 12th Street Northeast.
The Newton Theater opened its doors in 1937 and operated until the mid-1960s, marking a transition from downtown entertainment venues to neighborhood movie houses.
In 1984, the Newton Theater transformed into a concert venue, hosting performances by influential punk rock bands including Hüsker Dü and Government Issue.
The theater building, designed by architect John Jacob Zink, contained 1007 seats and occupied a central position on the main commercial strip of Brookland.
The structure remains one of the few surviving neighborhood theaters in Washington, D.C. that exemplifies the Art Deco architectural movement of the 1930s.
