Built in 1926, the Palace Theater is still showing films, though it has been divided into four screens.

The Palace is now a four-plex and has been for quite some time. The main auditorium is still fully intact and quite impressive. I would have stayed for a movie but could not bring myself to spend money to see "Shark Tale". Anyway, here's the new configuration: Main auditorium intact, balcony split down the middle {each containing 160+ seats) a very tiny "auditorium" was created behind the main screen or the stage area which contains 40+ seats.
The "plexing" was done tastefully and the original stenciling was duplicated on the new partitions. The theatre had a good attendance when I looked inside all the auditoriums.

Chuck1231: Nice article about the organ and vintage b/w photo. I like the marquee then compared to now. Also, the figure skating photos on either side of the marquee.

I wonder if this theatre is still a multiplex as I'm sure it was built as a single screen theatre?

Not a big fan of this design. If you tore the marquee off it could easily be a bank or city hall.

I spent Labor Day weekend in Lake Placid and was so pleasantly surprised when I saw the marquee of this theater lighting up the main street. It's truly amazing what impact an operating theater has on the "liveliness" of a streetscape. Though time did not allow me to visit the theater (I was hoping for a rainy afternoon/didn't get it) it appeared that the theater was doing well. It was great to see.
