Seminole Theater - Homestead Historic Downtown District - Homestead FL - NRHP Historic Districts - Contributing Buildings on Waymarking.com

The theater was first rebuilt in 1940, it was designed with the current Art Deco facade.
The Art Deco Seminole Theatre, now the Seminole Cultural Arts Theatre, at 18-26 N. Krome Avenue was constructed c. 1921 to show silent movies. In March 1940, fire severely damaged the building, but the
movie house opened again in August 1940. The Seminole Theatre closed in 1979 and stood vacant until the facility was locally designated a historic site after Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Restoration work has begun for the theater to serve as a performing arts and film presentation center. The most notable feature of the facade of the building is its distinctive neon sign.
