Keith-Albee Theatre

The Keith-Albee Theatre is a performing arts center, located across the street from the Frederick Building in downtown Huntington, West Virginia, United States.

At the time of its construction, the Keith Albee Theatre, named after Keith-Albee-Orpheum, was thought to be the second largest theater in the United States.

The Keith-Albee Theatre was designed by the renowned Scottish-born architect Thomas W. Lamb, who created approximately 150 theaters around the globe.
