Alhambra Theatorium
Alhambra Theatorium, Moorish Revival movie theater in Evansville, United States.
The Alhambra Theatorium is a movie theater in Evansville featuring Moorish Revival elements with arched openings, ornate wall coverings, and elaborate plasterwork throughout. The interior displays systematic use of tilework and decorative patterns that extend across all levels of the space.
The building was constructed in 1913 and combined contemporary American theater technology with Eastern design principles. Its architectural qualities later led to recognition on the national register of historic places.
The theater draws its name from a famous palace complex and reflects how Eastern design influenced American entertainment spaces. Visitors experience rooms decorated in a style inspired by Spanish-Islamic artistic traditions.
The theater is located in downtown and accessible via the local street network. Visitors should check the events calendar before visiting, as regular screenings and community gatherings happen throughout the year.
The theatorium was built during a period when Eastern and Islamic architecture was fashionable in America, resulting in an unexpected blend of styles. This mix of East and West remains rarely preserved in surviving buildings from that era.
