The Strand Theatre opened on June 12, 1928. It is on West Main at South Broadway and seated 502. It closed on December 2, 1985 with its last feature being “Back to the Future”. It has since been converted into a reception and catering center. They have kept it in its original decor inside with all the ornate features still intact and in use.
The marquee has been stripped of its neon and painted an off blue but still utilizing the attraction panels. Where the box office used to be, another set of doors has replaced it.
