Dunkin Theater is located at 205-207 E. Broadway in downtown Cushing. This is an ornate two-story building constructed of tan blocks. The theater opened on March 31, 1926 and operated continually until November 2016. It has one screen and 826 seats. The interior is intact, however, balcony use had been discontinued in recent years for safety since the projection equipment was uncased and presented a hazard to moviegoers walking in the area.
The building is quite ornate. The second level has three bays, with the outer bays each having a segmented, fixed window, and the center bay having four connected windows separated by half-columns. Stone medallions and rosettes decorate the facade. Beneath a stepped parapet is a panel reading "DUNKIN THEATER". A triangular marquee is supported by iron chains extending from the wall.
The theater has four glass doors, flanked by two small storefronts, each with a single door and two display windows. The building is currently vacant.
