Lincoln Theatre, Historic Art Deco theater on Lincoln Road, Miami Beach, Florida
This 1936 Art Deco building features a rounded corner facade, horizontal canopies, and a prominent marquee that reflects Miami Beach's signature architectural style from the era.
Designed by renowned theater architect Thomas W. Lamb and opened in 1936, the building served as a movie palace for decades before closing in the 1980s.
The New World Symphony bought the building in 1990 and used it for performances after a multimillion-dollar renovation, until moving to the Frank Gehry-designed New World Center in 2011. In 2012 H&M became the first retail tenant as the interior was gutted for shops.
The building now houses retail spaces including a flagship store, maintaining its exterior Art Deco features while adapting to modern commercial use on pedestrianized Lincoln Road.
In April 2012 the American Institute of Architects' Florida Chapter listed the building as "Lincoln Theater" on Florida Architecture: 100 Years. 100 Places. By then the interior had been largely gutted for retail conversion, with H&M signed as first tenant in January 2012.
