The Homewood Theatre was a small movie theater located at 2834 18th Street South in downtown Homewood. It's precise construction and opening dates are not known, but it is believed to have opened shortly after the city was incorporated in 1927. The theater was later remodeled, reopening on April 3, 1941. It closed permanently in the mid to late 1950s.
The building still stands, having been converted into a storefront. It has housed Homewood Cycle since at least the 1970s.
The theatre was depicted in the sixth and final commemorative ornament created by Don Stewart for the Homewood Chamber of Commerce from 2002 to 2008.
