Scenic Theater

The Lake Wales Scenic Theater (254 E Stuart Avenue) was built by a group of local businessmen organized as the Lake Wales Amusement Company. It seated 400 people, about half the town's population at the time. A 2-part Masonry Vernacular commercial building, the Scenic Theater contains decorative features that were borrowed from the Mission style. They include a curvilinear parapet and barrel tile covering over the flared eaves.
