The Palace Theatre is a historic building located at 125 Jimmy Davis Boulevard in Jonesboro, Louisiana.

Built before 1924 as a brick building, it was remodelled with a stucco facade and in 1929. The renovation included a mixture of Art Deco and Spanish Colonial Revival styling. [2] [3]

It was deemed notable "as the only professional entertainment venue in Jonesboro, the seat of Jackson Parish" and "as one of the parish’s very limited number of architectural landmarks." [2] [3]

The theatre was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on July 30, 2008. [1]
