The Lamp Theatre in downtown Irwin opened March 30, 1937, built by the Aladdin Theater Co.  Closed since 2004, Westmoreland Cultural Trust assumed ownership in 2006 and has since spent $733,000 in restoration, including a new roof, plumbing and electrical upgrades.  A fire at the adjacent Irwin Hotel in March 2009 set back the Lamp project, with fire-related damage to the Theatre.  Further progress is currently contigent upon securing $150,000 in local funds through public and private donations in order to secure $500,000 in pledged county and state grants.
