The John A. Davis House, also known as Albany Little Theatre, is a historic building in downtown Albany, Georgia. The house, which has architectural distinction, was built in about 1853, and a contemporary 314-seat theater with no architectural pretensions was added at the rear in the 1960s.[2] The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]

The house was originally built as an Italianate villa with a central brick tower flanked by one-story wooden porches. A Classical Revival portico and porches were added in the early 1900s.[2]

Theatre Albany, a community theater founded in 1932,[3] has been located in the house since 1964.[4]
