Opened 1942 by the Lincolnton Amusement Co. Named after a respected local doctor, Lemuel Lester Self, whose widow was involved in the operation of the theater. Closed sometime mid ‘60s, then became the home of a local theater company in 1969. Retail by 1975. (Info from NRHP listing)
The shell of the Lester still stand howbeit the interior has been gutted and transformed into office space. The full address should read 301 East Main Street, Cherryville, NC. Here is a 2010 shot of what remains of the theatre: Lester Theatre
