Duncan Theater

I remember growing up in Killbuck and going to that theater often. It was in very rough shape, then it was purchased and became not only a movie theater but also a video store. I was part of a civic group that repainted the inside sometime in the early 90’s. Now it is a party center that occasionally shows some old old movies.

My wife and I spent the night at Landoll’s Castle in Ashland County and took the long way home down the backroads. I had put all of the locations of Ohio theaters into my GPS, so I could know if I was close enough to stop by for a visit. I didn’t have much hope for this one after striking out on a couple of obvious ones, but the Duncan turned out to be the star of the Friday trip. While I was taking pictures, one of the locals passed and told me I needed to buy it and reopen it instead of just taking pictures, so I said I’d pass the word on that Killbuck was hungry for movies again. Enjoy! I did.

The theater was remodeled in 1953 after a 14 year vacancy:

Remodel Old Theater Vacant For 14 Years

KILLBUCK â€" The old Duncan theater here, vacant for the past 14 years, is being remodeled and cleaned up far use as a public auditorium. The stage is being left in the theater as well as some of the seats. The building was closed down 14 years ago when a new theater was constructed here. Present owner of the old structure is Wallis Sprague of Newark.
