Fort Cusseta was a wooden stockade built by white settlers to protect against possible Creek Indian attacks. Its ruin still exists today within the small city of Cusseta, Alabama. Following the signing of the Creek Treaty in 1832, the early white settlers built a 16 feet by 30 feet hand-hewn log fort for protection from a possible uprising from a Cusseta Indian village on Osanippa Creek just north of the fort.. Walls were four and six feet high with portholes at a height of four feet. The fort never saw any military action.

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.
