Temple Theatre

Historic Temple Theatre In 1937, The Temple Theatre opened in a new brick building in downtown Portland, Tennessee. (615)210-9166 [email protected].

It was constructed in the previous location of the Capitol Theater which had been destroyed by fire. The owners were Walter Moore and Charlie Green. The Temple operated here until the mid-1940s when the Strand replaced the Temple and operated until the mid 1950s. The building was most recently owned and occupied by Morris Plate Glass. In 2012, the Portland Preservation Foundation made the decision

to purchase and restore the old theatre building. The Foundation is nonprofit and completely dependent on donations and grants. The first goal is to raise enough money to purchase the building. For donation information, please contact Portland Preservation Foundation, c/o Jim Donoho, PO Box 7, Portland, TN 37148. Billy Geminden (615)604-6315 [email protected] Donations may also be mailed or dropped off at the Portland Chamber office on Main Street.
