Grand Theatre, 133 South Twelfth Street, Baton Rouge, East Baton Rouge Parish, LA
Summary
Significance: The Grand Theater stands out as the only remaining black theater in the Baton Rouge area. Dating from the early 1890s, the Grand operated as a "Negro opera house and dance hall," and later as a movie theatre. Through the years, famous black entertainers performed there. The City is hoping to rehabilitate the Grand Theater by turning it into a jazz museum and entertainment center.
