The theater was built in 1937, after the old wood frame theater and school burned.  Originally designed by Kennon Perry, architect of  Atlanta, it is a stylized neo-Georgian two-story brick building.  It has a formally balanced facade connected by a cloister to the  LaFayette  Lanier  School.  Three porch arches give the theater a Gothic  Temple appearance. The building is used for school functions, stage plays, church groups, concerts, pageants, dance recitals, cantatas, religious events, and womanless weddings. For Landale community natives, it is fondly remembered as the “Picture Show.”

Restoration of the theater began in 1985 and is now complete. Its interior and exterior appearances are maintained as near to original as possible.  Its owner is the Chambers County Board of Education.
