The 5 Points Theatre Building was built in 1927 and has a long history as a premier venue in Jacksonville. Originally the Riverside Theatre, it was the first theatre in Florida built to show “talkies.” The architect, Roy Benjamin, also designed the Florida Theatre and over 200 theatres throughout the Southeast.
The building was remodeled in 1949, and the marquee was added in its current form. Although the marquee was not original, it is considered to be an historic part of the building, and has also been restored. In 1978 the building was covered with stucco an ill-conceived attempt to “modernize” its appearance. During the 80’s and 90’s the theatre operated as a playhouse and a nightclub.
The theatre building offers retail and office space and has been restored, turning Jacksonville’s oldest movie theatre into it’s newest. The theatre is also available for private parties and events.
