Historic Route 66
Coleman Theatre, OK

Known as Miami’s crown jewel, the Coleman Theatre is a Spanish Mission revival style structure built in 1929 by George L. Coleman, Sr. as a vaudeville and movie theater. In 1989, the theater, suffering from years of neglect, was given to the city of Miami by the Coleman family and has since undergone extensive renovation. This structure draws tourists from a national audience due to its significant history and notable architectural style and provides a glimpse of life along Route 66.
