The Grand was opened in 1938 with a combination of Art Deco and Streamline Moderne. It run successfully until 1950 when it closed. It re-opened for a few years in the late 60's and was used for boxing events.

It was scheduled for demolition in 1974 but the community came together and it was restored. It was re-opened in 1975 as a performing arts center. It now presents a mixture of movies and live performances.

It has its fully restored marquee and free standing box office in operation with all its vivid color.

Nice photos, too bad that TC already posted the exact same photos on May 10, 2005. I'm sure that they were hard to see since there are at least 3 messages posted in here prior to yours. Do we really need duplicates of the same photos now?
