Description
Construction of the historic Bama Theatre in Tuscaloosa, Alabama was enabled by the provision of federal Public Works Administration (PWA) funds during the 1930s. The building was constructed as a combination “theatre/municipal auditorium” and “city hall, all under one roof.” Municipal functions have since relocated.
Further details about the architecture and details of the building can be found at the Bama Theatre’s official website, linked below.
