caption_attribution_description: English: The old Palace theater in downtown Crossville Tennessee. Constructed in the late 1930s, the theater was the hub of entertainment in a growing southeastern town. It fell into disrepair in the early eighties as a newer theater came into town and drew the crowds away. It sat on its corner on Main Street literally rotting down for almost a decade. The building's roof gave way in many places, and the interior balcony quickly became a deathtrap. The Palace was resurrected in 2000, restored to its original glory, and reopened in early 2001. It is now a center of entertainment of several kinds including showings of classics by the local cinema club, live performances of various local and visiting musicians, comedians, magicians, and other entertainers. This is an image of a place or building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States of America. Its reference number is 93001477

As of April 30, 2008, the lawn is no longer a free-speech zone due largely to the controversy caused by the Flying Spaghetti Monster statue.
