    1. Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center

      Built in 1928, the Keith-Albee Performing Arts Center plays host to the Marshall Artists Series—the nation’s second-oldest college-town arts and entertainment series. Thomas W. Lamb, one of America's foremost theatre architects, designed the Keith-Albee in the ornate Spanish Baroque style. The remarkably well-preserved structure includes a four-story dressing room tower and fully equipped "fly-system" theatrical stage as well as a gigantic retractable motion picture screen and a top-quality theatre organ. When completed, the "atmospheric" theatre seated 2,633 patrons in a simulated courtyard beneath a starlit sky.
