The Central, located in the heart of West Hartford Center, is now a mini-mall. The ghost of its earlier marquee can be seen in the slightly stylized Central sign that adorns the mini-mall’s entrance.

The Central Theatre seated 900 people.
I rode by this the other day on bike and stopped in for a look. The walls are marble and the chandeliers are amazing. Don’t know if they were the originals? There’s a bunch of them and there are shops along the hallway. There are also old movie poster metal holders on the walls.
I have been inside the building also and wow, it’s still beautiful.
Maggie Moos has nice digs.
The Central can be seen in this 1972 photo:
