The Champlain theatre opened in 1935 but I couldn’t find a closing date.
Oops. Dark red brick in front, red painted wood and red painted siding in back.
I was on a cycling trip here last week. The former theatre is in the very small and sleepy town of Swanton, not too far from Canada and Lake Champlain. There’s retail on the bottom left, 2 vacancies and upstairs apartments. The theatre auditorium is in the middle but there’s another building on the left corner, not attached to the auditorium but to the front stores and in the same color.
This is a recent obit for Paul D. Langevin. It mentions that “….together with his brother Joseph operated the Champlain Movie Theater in Swanton Village”.
This letter to the editor on the online version of the St. Albans Messenger lends me to believe that the fitness center and variety store which both give addresses of “3 Canada Street” (by a Google search) are housed in the former Champlain Theatre building.
