The Avondale Theater was listed in 1934 and likely dates back further perhaps as an African American theater. The place was raided in 1935 for indecency - which it then advertised that same year. The Avondale Theatre closed permanently on October 20, 1952 with “The Frogmen.” It became a house of worship thereafter known as the Birmingham Revival Center.

Newspaper listings started in 1940 in the neighborhood column on the News, no grand opening ad found in 1938 or 1940.
