Brownwood Texas Aerial
Brownwood Texas Aerial
This vaudeville-era theater first opened in 1914 in the Central Texas town of Brownwood. Although designed and operated as a performance space, like many small theaters, it was transitioned into a cinema in the 1920's. 

Brownwood was home to the US Army's Camp Bowie during WWII. During the late 30's and early 40's downtown Brownwood's population grew to 100,000 and had 7 cinemas operating at full tilt. As the war ended many of those closed and even the venerable Lyric was converted into a clothing store.

A century after its original opening, the Lyric is once again a home for the performing arts in Brownwood. A herculean restoration effort has restored the theater to its original glory and then some with the addition of modern staging, lighting and sound. Today live theater, musical acts and film once again grace this historic proscenium.

It would be neat to explain the history of this place, it’s origin or any background for that matter. But I could not find anything.  We stumbled upon these two small doors in a dead end alley.

We enjoyed the spacious room. The shower water pressure was awesome! There was some visible signs of previous water damage in the restroom, but not enough to affect our stay.

Covering up smells - had to unplug all air freshener plug-ins as soon as we walked in - it was totally suffocating! Water pressure was so bad the toilets would not flush half of the time we were there - we did not call for help as we we know there would be no fix - and shower had very low pressure. ...
