Dalton Theatre Building is a historic theatre building located at Pulaski, Pulaski County, Virginia. It was built in 1921, and is a three-story, five bay, brick commercial building with a flat roof topped by a one-story square central tower. At the rear of the building was a gable-roofed auditorium and a plain five-story equipment tower serving the stage. The auditorium is designed in the Beaux Arts style. The theater was built for vaudeville, then showed motion pictures into the 1960s.[3] The auditorium section of the building collapsed in 1982.[4]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1]
