Beacham Theater, Movie theater in downtown Orlando, United States
The Beacham Theater features Chicago School architecture with a rectangular facade, large windows, and classical ornamental details across its street-facing exterior.
Built in 1921 by Braxton Beacham Sr on the former site of Orange County Jail, the theater initially operated as both a cinema and vaudeville performance venue.
The venue transformed from a segregated movie house in the 1960s to an integrated entertainment space that hosted performances by Ray Charles and B.B. King.
The theater accommodates 1,000 visitors and maintains its original structural elements while providing modern sound and lighting systems for contemporary performances.
Underground tunnels connect the theater to the nearby Angebilt Hotel, reportedly used during Prohibition to transport and store alcohol supplies.
