There was once an era when a night out on the town involved getting dressed in your finest and heading to the theater for a show. Unlike the reclining seats and bowls of popcorn found at movie theaters today, it was an event to see a show or movie, and Louisville was one of the best cities to do so. Along Fourth Street, in particular, you could shop, dine, and then attend one of the classic theaters in the area; the most beautiful of them all was what is now called the Louisville Palace. This jaw dropping place is a landmark in our city and it will blow you away.

This grand Louisville building held its opening on September 1, 1928 under the name Loew's and United Artists State Theatre.

The exterior is eye-catching and you can imagine it as a shining star along Fourth Street during the height of the era.
But it is the interior of The Palace that is truly jaw dropping.

In the early 1990s, the building underwent a multi-million dollar restoration to return The Palace to the opulence it was once known for. The lobby (shown above) is awe-inspiring and your eyes won't know where to gaze first.

The Mezzanine level is just as ornate, and the warm golden tones evoke the building's rich history.
