Historic Abilene
Abilene, the vibrant city born from the rugged Texas prairies, has a storied history of success and prosperity. Founded by the T&P Railway in 1881, Abilene quickly became a hub of activity thanks to booming oil strikes and record-breaking harvests. The roaring 20s saw the construction of many of the downtown buildings that still stand today, and the city has continued to thrive. Now home to three universities and an Air Force base, Abilene is the go-to destination for medical care, shopping, and culture in West Texas. And with its recent downtown revitalization, Abilene is setting a shining example for other communities looking to preserve their rich heritage. Abilene’s Downtown Cultural District beautifully showcases the unique architecture and cultural landscape that make this city so special.

Designed and built in 1930 by architect David Castle, the landmark Paramount Theatre in Abilene, Texas has a rich and significant history. A beautiful example of the nostalgic “atmospheric” movie theatre, it was built in an era when movie-going was meant to be a grand experience that transported you to another time and place. The theatre’s main auditorium space was designed to re-create a Spanish / Moorish courtyard at night, complete with projected clouds passing over a neon-lit night sky fitted with twinkling stars.
