The Alabama Theatre is a historic movie theater located at the intersection of Alabama Street and Shepherd Drive in the Upper Kirby district of Houston, Texas. Constructed in 1939, in the Art Deco and Streamline Moderne styles as a suburban theater, the Alabama primarily booked roadshow engagements through most of its history.[1][2][3] Today, the theater is home to a Trader Joe's grocery store.[4] It is one of the buildings of the Alabama Shepherd Shopping Center, owned by Weingarten Realty.[5]
