Fine Arts Theater - Denton, TX - Vintage Movie Theaters on Waymarking.com

Denton, in Arcadia's "Images of America" series, has a vintage photo of "Theater Row" on the west side of the courthouse square, and this one is the most prominent. The building dates to 1890, with alterations made to it in 1925, and later in 1960. It was originally called the Texas Theater, but it was renamed to the Fine Arts Theater in 1957.

Unfortunately, the lights haven't been able to show off the theater for some years, as it closed after a fire in 1982. Since then, it has been used as rental space for churches in need, but WFAA (Channel 8) in Dallas reported in 2016 that efforts are underway to bring back and restore the theater.

The theater is also a contributing building to the Denton County Courthouse Square Historic District.
