The Paramount Theatre opened on April 13, 1931 and was demolished in 1963 for a city parking lot. It was somewhat similar to the Paramount in Peekskill, New York with a half-timbered exterior and an Art Deco style interior.

The April 2nd, 1930 issue of Variety reported that Paramount would build a new theatre in Middletown, Ohio, for $750,000, with Rapp & Rapp as architects. It was probably similar in design to a new Paramount theatre by Rapp & Rapp and also costing $750,000 in Hamilton, Ohio, which was announced in the same issue of Variety. Both theatres would be owned by a Paramount subsidiary called the Midham Company, headquartered in Cincinnati.
