Ritz Theatre and Museum
Address: 829 N Davis St, Jacksonville, FL 32202
Prominently located at the corner of West State Street and North Davis Street, the Ritz Theatre operated for nearly 30 years as a movie house catering to the African American community.
Constructed in 1929 from plans by Jacksonville architect, Jefferson D. Powell, the theatre had a unique and delightful design that incorporated elements of the Egyptian Revival, Mediterranean Revival, and Art Deco styles.
The richly-detailed corner entryway was incorporated in the design of the current Ritz Theatre.
