Landers Theatre in Springfield, Missouri was built in 1909, and is the oldest and largest civic theatre operation in Missouri. It has been in continuous use either as a legitimate theatre or a movie theater since it opened. In 1928, the theatre became the 35th facility in the world to acquire sound film.
It was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1977, significant for the preserved Baroque Renaissance, Napoleon architectural style. A number of major restoration projects have been undertaken, and the most recent restorations have been cited with awards from the American Institute of Architects.
