It was built in 1927–1928, and is a three-story, Italian Renaissance style brick and terra cotta building. The theatre closed in 1975 amid a general exodus of businesses from downtown Lumberton. Plans were made to demolish it and build a parking lot, but community activists lobbied to have the building spared. It was reopened as the Carolina Civic Center in 1985 and underwent renovations in 2008. Read more on Wikipedia
