Opened in 1947 with seating for 302 with one screen. This classic Streamline Moderne theatre has continually provided entertainment through the decades.

Alex Gough was the original owner and sold it in 1964 it to the Lesmeister family and they operated it until 2018. It is now under new ownership.


"Streamline Moderne
Streamline Moderne is an international style of Art Deco architecture and design that emerged in the 1930s. It was inspired by aerodynamic design. Streamline architecture emphasized curving forms, long horizontal lines, and sometimes nautical elements. In industrial design, it was used in railroad locomotives, telephones, toasters, buses, appliances, and other devices to give the impression of sleekness and modernity"
