Dallas
The Lakewood Theater was one of the largest in the Interstate Theater system when constructed in 1938. It has become the symbol for the Lakewood area and holds significance for multiple generations of local residents. Underutilized for many years, all major building systems are being updated and preparations are underway for a recently signed tenant who will utilize the entire space and is expected to utilize the theater space in its original configuration, although it will not still be a movie theater. More info to come.
Norman Alston Architects led the effort to have the theater designated as a City of Dallas Landmark and is leading the restoration and updating efforts.
The exterior has been repainted in its original colors as determined through paint scrapings by decorative arts conservator Stashka Star. On November 30, 2018, the restoration of the exterior decorative lighting was officially completed with a grand re-lighting event in conjunction with the neighborhood Light Up Lakewood holiday street party. Completion of tenant improvements will soon follow.
