This old historic theater opened in 1922 as the Lyric Theater, a single screen theatre. It featured live entertainment and movies. It was one of the earliest theaters constructed in the state.
The theater has been completely renovated and made into a three screen venue featuring first run movies.
The front of the building has lost some of its luster during the renovation. The first level of the theater has been stuccoed over in a plain white. A new rather simple marquee has been added and a large vertical with “Center” down each side has been restored. The upper floors still remain a red brick with with sand stone trim around the windows.
