Crenshaw Blvd Walk
The Academy Theater was designed by architect, S. Charles Lee, and built in 1939. The theater was named and built to host the Academy Awards, but was never used for such. It showed first-run films for 25 years, and later showed Blaxploitation films until being sold in 1975 to faith healer, Pastor Doyle Hart, where it used as a church today. cinematreasures.org/theater/7/
