In September 2001, the Strand Theatre appeared to have been recently showing movies and looked as if someone may have had a residence set up in its back portion. It was white stucco and may have had a sheltered ticket booth at one time.
“Strand Theater” is spelled out above the entrance in individual red faded letters. It also has single glass front movie poster displays on each side of the entrance.

The Strand Theater is listed in 1955 with 600 seats.
Google Maps is unable to find the address given in the introduction. Are we sure it’s the correct one?
Google maps shows the Strand as being located on Oak Bluffs Avenue in Vineyard Haven, MA 02568.
The Strand Theatre is listed in the 1926 Film Daily Year Book, and its existence could pre-date that. The 1926 listing reports 500 seats.
Here is a 2008 photo.
The Strand is listed in the 1927 Film Daily Yearbook with 500 seats, open 6 days per week. There is also an Eagle Theatre listed for Oak Bluffs.
My photograph, dated July 2012, was taken through the window of a srvice bus(!), so I didn’t have the chance for a proper look at the cinema, but it appeared to be closed (it wasn’t listed in the film section in the free sheet ‘MV Times’).
