The
Wells Theater opened around 1942 and closed in 1965. After its closure it
became a plumbing supply company, then was remodeled for apartments in 1990. Currently,
the building still seems to house apartments, although somewhat dilapidated. It
is located across East King Street from the historic train depot.
The
Lincoln Theatre, a cinema for the African American citizens, was located on
North Lee Street in Kingsland, opening on 18 January 1950. Owned and operated
by the Odum Brothers, the theater sought to have as many programs as possible
featuring all-black casts. The Lincoln appears to be no longer extant.
Location:
123 E. King Street, Kingsland, Georgia.
