Lincoln Theatre, Historic theatre in South Los Angeles, United States.
The Lincoln Theatre features Moorish Revival architecture with decorative ceramic tiles, three symmetrical bays, and seating capacity for 2,100 visitors.
Opening in 1927, the Lincoln Theatre served the African American community during segregation when many downtown Los Angeles theaters excluded black patrons.
Duke Ellington, Nat King Cole Trio, and Billie Holiday performed at this venue, which earned recognition as the West Coast counterpart to Harlem's Apollo Theatre.
The Lincoln Theatre, located at 2300 South Central Avenue, now functions as a religious center under the name Iglesia de Jesucristo Ministerios Juda.
The interior contains an original mural depicting President Abraham Lincoln positioned above the grand staircase, reflecting the building's historical connection.
