Lakewood Theater, Art Deco movie theater in East Dallas, United States

Lakewood Theater is a Streamline Moderne movie house on Abrams Road in East Dallas, built in 1938. A tan building carries a tall cylindrical tower at its center-left, capped by a small spire and faced with vertical blue panels between ribs; yellow letters reading "LAKEWOOD" run down the front and right side. Below, a white marquee and dark entrance doors sit behind a low brick planter.

The theater opened in 1938 with interior murals by Perry Nichols and sculptures by Jose Martin representing artistic trends of that era. These works exemplify the artistic taste favored during the later phase of the Art Deco movement.

The theater closed in 2015, ending its run as a cinema and live venue. Its name is spelled out in yellow letters down the blue-paneled tower and in pale green neon on the sign, and the marquee has advertised events such as a dance competition and karaoke nights.

The building sits on Abrams Road and now operates as Bowlski's, offering bowling lanes, games, and space for events. The exterior preserves the original theater design while the interior has been adapted for current uses.

The building retains its original 1930s neon sign and facade while housing one of the city's larger bowling operations inside. This combination of preserved historic exterior with modern entertainment within is uncommon in the area.
