Turn Hall

This neighborhood theater is located a few miles from the town center and about half a mile from the main drags. You’re in a neighborhood and don’t expect a theater and just when you’re in sight of Union Pond, it’s on your right at the end of the street. It’s currently a bar/pub called Kelly’s Pub and judging by the size of it, was a one-screener. There’s a bar in front, a sign in the window of the former auditorium that it’s a banquet hall and the stage door below the end of the auditorium on the left is a pub. I arrived just before they opened and didn’t have time to go in.

The front has vertical grey siding. The sides are brick and the auditorium has a faux stucco at the foundation and grey shingles above. The front of the auditorium above the former lobby (is it called a storey?) has three little steps on each side and a top step (like a step pyramid).

“judging by the size of it, was a one-screener”

This place hasn’t been a movie theater since the silent era – they were all single screeners back then!

It has also been used as a basketball court. I believe that in recent months they have begun using the theater for live productions again for the first time in awhile.
