Lincoln Theatre badly damaged by fire.
Wilson Daily Times, 2 December 1932.
The Lincoln, a white-owned movie theatre serving black patrons, did not reopen after the fire. Its owner auctioned off his movie equipment, organ, and other fixtures, and the building was soon advertised for rent. In my youth, it was home to the Midtown Lounge. It now houses Whole Truth Church of God in Christ.
