This was the first Strand Theater in Buffalo. It was operated by Mitchel and Moe Mark, who also operated the Strand Theater in New York City. First run films came from Paramount. In its day, it was a premier theater in the area. The Marks also ran the Elmwood and Victoria Theaters in the city.

As newer movie palaces opened up the street in the early-1920’s, the Strand’s time ran out, and it closed in 1923. Shortly afterward, a new Strand opened in South Buffalo. The old theater was remodeled, finally becoming a clothing
store. That was torn down in the 1950’s.
