The Temple Theatre in Sanford, North Carolina, is a two-story brick performance venue completed in 1925 by Robert Ingram Sr., owner of the local Coca-Cola bottling company, during a period when the town had only 3,500 residents. Measuring 50 feet wide and 92 feet deep, the building showcases a distinctive architectural blend of Colonial Revival and Art Deco elements, accented with cut stone details. Named for its proximity to Sanford's Masonic Lodge, the theatre was constructed as a modern playhouse of its era and now stands as a listed place on the National Register of Historic Places.
