The Grand Theater in Fargo, North Dakota opened in 1906 as a vaudeville theater. The Grand Theater closed around 1927. The building stood vacant for a few years. A fire in 1932 damaged the theater. In 1935, the American Amusement Company of Minneapolis rebuilt the Grand Theater and converted it into a movie theater. I don’t have a closing date for this theater but the Grand Theater lasted at least into the 1960’s. It was demolished in the early 1970’s.

This is a night view of the Grand. Date given for photo is Sept. 3, 1942.
Joseph E. Rosatti was the lead architect for the 1935 rebuilding of the Grand, with the Minneapolis firm of Liebenberg & Kaplan as consulting architects. The August, 1983, issue of Boxoffice Magazine featured an article about Jack Liebenberg which included a small photo of the Grand from around the time of its opening.
A May 18, 1970, Boxoffice Magazine article about the groundbreaking for the Lark Theatre said that the Lark was a replacement for the Grand, and that the Grand was to be demolished after the opening of the new house.
