Byrd Theatre, Movie theater in Carytown, Richmond, United States.
The Byrd Theatre features a French Empire architectural design with marble walls, velvet drapes, and eleven Czechoslovakian crystal chandeliers throughout its interior spaces.
The Byrd Theatre, constructed in 1928 for $900,000, operated under segregation policies until the 1960s when it opened all seating areas to African-American patrons.
The movie palace maintains a Mighty Wurlitzer organ on its fourth floor, played during weekend screenings to maintain the tradition of silent film accompaniment.
The theater provides accessible seating with aisle cutouts, a center platform, modern restroom facilities, and nearby free parking for all visitors.
A natural spring beneath the building supplies the original cooling system, which continues to function after nearly 100 years of operation.
