The Grandin Theatre in Roanoke, the only remaining classic movie house in the city, closed in November 2001 due to financial pressures amid increased competition from local multiplexes. The final, sold out screening of “The Last Picture Show” was a fitting end for the Grandin Theatre.
While owner Julie Hunsaker was forced to close the theater, the Grandin Theatre Foundation restored and reopened the theater after a $1.25 million effort.
Today, the Grandin Theatre is back and better than ever.

Here is a photo of the Grandin Theater.
Thanks for the photo of this theater as I’ve been to Roanoke many years and don’t recall seeing it, but then again I wasn’t into theatres during my visit in the 60’s. It looks like the original ticket kios is still there, too.
The other link stopped working so here is another photo of the Grandin Theater.

HEY! Wasn’t the exterior of the Grandin used in the movie “Crazy People”??

Is this the same Grandon Theatre that opened in 1931? If so when and how was the theatre divided into the four.
