Vintage view of the Alamo Theatre

Built in 1916, this small theater is one of the oldest surviving movie theaters in all of New England.

In 1956, it was gutted and converted into a grocery store, but by the early 1990s, it was long vacant, and little more than a shell remained.

In 1992, the Northeast Historic Film group purchased the ruined theater and rebuilt the main auditorium, and are currently renovating the second floor for a film library and study center.

The Alamo currently screens a varied mix of film, from silents, classics, foreign and current releases and is open every weekend (Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights and Sunday matinees).

The Alamo Theatre seated 350 people when it was a theatre in the 50's.

Is the address 85 Main or 379 Main? The theater website says 85. Additionally, the Bittersweet Gift Shop seen in the 6/4/08 photo is at 81 Main.

What theater website? I don't see the website posted on here.

If you enter www.alamotheatre.org you get this site http://www.oldfilm.org/ which as karan pointed out in 2006 owns the theater.

If Northeast Historic Film is located in the Alamo Theater then the address should be 85 Main Street which is the address given on their website. Good old trusty Google will return both addresses for this theater.
