Colonial Theater, Historic movie theater in Augusta, United States
The Colonial Theater stands at 139 Water Street with a Beaux Arts facade featuring brick piers, decorative parapets, and granite window sills.
Built in 1913 and rebuilt following a fire in 1926, architect Harry S. Coombs incorporated Georgian Revival elements into the theater's reconstruction design.
The theater served the Kennebec Valley region from 1913 to 1969, presenting silent films with live orchestral performances and vaudeville entertainment.
The nonprofit organization Augusta Colonial Theater Inc manages restoration efforts, seeking tax credits and donations for a multi-million dollar renovation project.
The building remains the last surviving movie theater in downtown Augusta, receiving National Register of Historic Places designation in 2014.
