The Historic Capitol Theatre Restoration Project in Brownsville, TX was initiated in 2005 by the Brownsville Community Improvement Corporation with the goal of restoring the historic Capitol Theatre to its original grandeur. The theatre, originally built in 1929, was a beloved local landmark and a cornerstone of the community. The restoration project included the complete renovation of the interior and exterior of the building, as well as the installation of new lighting, sound and seating systems. The project also included the restoration of the original marquee and marquee lettering, the installation of an upgraded ventilation system, and the addition of a new box office and concession area. The project also included the restoration of the original lobby, which had been heavily damaged by time and vandalism.

The restoration project was completed in 2009, and the Historic Capitol Theatre re-opened its doors to the public. The theatre now hosts a variety of events, including concerts, film screenings, and live theater performances. The project has been widely praised as a successful example of the power of preservation and revitalization. The theatre is now a beloved local landmark and an important cultural hub for the community.
