The Delray Theatre opened on Christmas Day 1923, constructed by the prominent Hall family of Delray Beach and located on 5th Avenue, near Atlantic Avenue. It was designed in Spanish Colonial style and featured a dance floor on the roof and was the first theatre in Delray Beach to be air-conditioned. The Hall family owned the theatre until 1938. The Delray Theatre operated until 1959 and was razed two years later.

The August 30, 1923 issue of Manufacturers Record said that the Delray Theater Company would build a moving picture theater, 40x90 feet, at Delray. The fireproof, hollow clay tile building with concrete floors, metal ceilings and terra cotta trim was designed by Miami architect Martin L. Hampton. At least one other theater, the Sheridan in Miami Beach, is attributed to Martin Luther Hampton.
