The 63 year old Oriel Theater has now been completely renovated into the Nokes Law Building. The Grand Opening was October 28th, 2011. Many details have been kept or re-created to honor its long history as a movie theater. I will be posting photos as they become available.
My name is Scott Nokes, and I recently purchased the Oriel Theater building. It opened in 1929 and was operated until 1974. From approximately 1975 until 2000 the Oriel Theater Building was operated as a furniture store. From 2000-2005 is was operated as Buffalo Creek Consignments.
It was foreclosed on in 2005 by First Minnesota Bank of Glencoe, and the bank owned it until March of 2011 when I purchased it for renovation as a law office. Unfortunately, the Oriel is in poor condition, needs a new roof and a lot of attention. However, it was build well, and the outer shell is still solid.
I plan to incorporate a movie theater decorating theme into the renovations.
