COMMUNITY THEATER is a historic theatre building at 207 West 2nd Av- enue in Pine Bluff, Jefferson County. It is a two-story brick building, finished in stucco, with Moderne styling. It was built in 1889, and housed first a furni- ture store, and then a five and dime, before being converted for theatrical use in the 1920s. Its present Moderne styling dates to renovations made in the wake of a 1951 fire. The building was listed on the National Register of His- toric Places in 2004.
