The Hornbeck Theatre was built in 1947 as a single screen movie house.
In 1973 the balcony area was remodeled into a piggyback twin—named the Penthouse. Currently the theater is operated by Jones Theatres, Inc. in a joint venture with Carmike Cinemas Inc.
There are 509 seats downstairs (Hornbeck) and 286 upstairs (Penthouse).
The architect for the original Hornbeck building was Jack Corgan and Associates. Architect on the remodeling and creation of the upstairs Penthouse Theatre in 1972 was Larry Blackledge and Associates.
