Opened in 1918, the historic Strand on Evanston's Main Street originally hosted vaudeville and other live entertainment in addition to motion pictures in its early years.

The Strand Theatre was successfully showing first-run movies, and was part of the Westates Theatres chain when disaster struck on 7th May 2007. The building was destroyed by a fire. Further updates on its future are awaited.

Here is an Associated Press story dated 9/29/08. The related sites link at the top of the page is defunct.

EVANSTON, WYOMING - The owners of the historic Strand Theater in Evanston are donating the building to a local agency.

A fire destroyed much of the 90-year-old building in May 2007. In March, the Evanston Urban Renewal Agency made an offer to buy the property from Kim and Kendra West. The deal fell through but the agency now says the Wests are donating the theater.

The agency plans to clean up the theater and stabilize the building. An attempt will then be made to raise money for renovations. One proposal is to renovate the Strand Theater as a performing arts center.

That photo can't be very recent since the marquee was removed from the building.
