Evangeline Theater - New Iberia, LA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

The Sliman Theater for the Performing Arts is home to the Louisiana Crossroads concert series, which is presented by the Acadiana Arts Council. The Art Deco style theater appeared to be in great condition. Good brief history from the State of Louisiana Register page, located here, which states:

The Evangeline Theater started its life as a wholesale grocery building in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century. Remodeled for a movie house in 1929, the building gained its current Art Deco facade and other characteristics during a 1939/40 renovation. The two story brick buildings facade is clad in stucco and pigmented structural glass. Located on Main Street in the New Iberia central business district, the façade is fully restored to its 1940 appearance.
