The Columbia Theatre was originally opened as a vaudeville and silent film house in 1925. It continued as a movie theater for many years, and was actually scheduled to be torn down in 1980. However, it was saved and renovated to become a live performance venue.

The Columbia Theatre is a beautiful reminder of Longview's history and serves as a center for the performing arts.
