The Churchill Theatre–Community Building was an historic movie theater located at Church Hill, Queen Anne's County, Maryland, United States. It is a large two-story stucco building constructed in 1929 by the town government as a community hall, and was first used as a movie theatre in 1936. The present Art Deco entrance and interior features were installed after a fire in 1944. It continued to serve as a movie theater until 1982.[2]
