Madison Theatre, Moorish Revival theatre in East Atlanta, United States
The Madison Theatre building stands at 496 Flat Shoals Avenue, featuring gargoyles and an organ within its architectural design from 1927.
Architects Daniell and Beutell designed this 600-seat cinema, which remained operational until the 1970s before transforming into several commercial spaces.
The theater evolved from showing silent films to talkies, later becoming the East Art Cinema and serving as a central entertainment venue.
The structure currently functions primarily as a storage facility, while the front section has been subdivided into multiple retail storefronts.
The Georgia Trust for Historic Preservation recognized the theater's endangered status in 2018, highlighting its architectural significance in DeKalb County.
