"The 1941 National Theater is a 1 1/2-story rectangular commercial building with a flat roof. The theater faces east at 522 Oak, Graham, Young County, Texas, on the west side of the town square within a 1- and 2-story commercial block. The principal facade is encased in a smooth stucco finish. While the National Theater retains the rhythm of the vernacular commercial blockface, the Moderne detailing of the front facade and interior, including the use of a projecting marquee, bold colors, geometric patterns, and structural glass give the building individual distinction."
