"The Crockett Theater is Lawrenceburg's most extraordinary example of Art Deco architecture, located on
the corner of Lawrenceburg's main street, Military Avenue, and Gaines Avenue, US Highway 64. This
major intersection in Lawrenceburg has been marked by the Crockett Theater and its marquee of over 1000
lights, and provides a major local landmark, important both as an architectural statement as well as a
gathering place for the community for many decades. The theater retains all of its Art Deco elements, both
on the exterior architecture, as well as in its interior design. Of special note is the terrazo floor which has
been retained since construction." ~ NRHP Listing
