    A walk back through time

    Visit "The Tennessee Theatre', a truly amazing old movie theater, and a historic landmark of Knoxville, TN.



    Enjoy,
    Lex

    Absolutely beautiful, Lex. Reminds me of a similar movie palace that once existed in Halifax called The Capitol Theater. It's history went back to the days of stage and early silent films.
    If there were still theaters like that around here, I would be going to movies on a regular basis.

      Looks like a great place for concerts and revival films. Hope I can see it in person some day.

        Oh man, talk about memory lane. That reminds me of the old Arcadia theater on the East side of the downtown square in Tyler, Texas. I haven't been there in 25 years, so I don't even know if the building is still standing, but there are a lot of good cinematic memories there. Thanks Lex.

          Glad you all enjoyed it. The Theater is not really used for standard attractions now. I am sad to say I missed the anniversary showing of Star Wars there.

          Mostly, it's used for specialty concerts and such now, Knoxville Symphony Orchestra, that sort of thing. Maybe some specialty films.

          She is a beautiful old theater. We actually have one older, but not nearly as ornate. Can you imagine, costing a million dollars in the early 1900s?
