Lacey Street Theatre
Lacey Street Theatre, Art Deco movie theater in Second Avenue, Fairbanks, United States.
Lacey Street Theatre is an Art Deco building with two concrete stories and a four-story corner tower along Second Avenue. The structure stands out with vertical metal and neon signage that highlights its mid-20th century modern design.
The theater opened on January 25, 1940, and operated continuously until December 1980. After its closure, the site was converted to preserve its architectural legacy for future generations.
The building displays Art Deco design with zigzag patterns and horizontal lines that make it stand out in the cityscape. Visitors can see how these visual elements once worked together to create an impressive entrance for movie-goers.
The building now houses the Fairbanks Ice Museum at 504 Second Avenue, where visitors can explore exhibits. The location is easily walkable and offers good access to downtown Fairbanks' historic district.
The building houses an original Kimball pipe organ from the Empress Theater, currently stored on the upper level of the Ice Museum. This instrument is a rare example of the musical equipment that once accompanied films in theaters like this.
