New Britain's largest theater, the Strand seated over 2000, but has long since been demolished.

An Austin organ Opus 1457 Size 3/13 was installed in the Strand Theater in 1926 at a cost of $14,500.

There's a picture on page 92 of Images of America: New Britain, Volume I of the staircase to the balcony. The lobby is amazing. "Was as grand as that of any New York Theatre" and was considered one of the largest theatres in New England. In 1972, it was demolished.

There's another picture on page 124 with an overview of Main Street with the Strand on the right with a 3-sided marquee and the stage house is visible.
