Here is a 2009 photo of the Strand building.
The Strand in Newburyport was the subject of a lengthy article in a newspaper or magazine some 10 years or so ago, with nice color photos of the restored exterior and photos and explanation of how the interior had been converted to commercial space. It’s right downtown, but I don’t know anything about it. But it looks great.
It looks like a very simple, but nice buiilding.
In the 1942-43 edition of the Motion Picture Almanac, the Strand Theatre and the Premier Theatre in Newburyport MA are listed as operated by Warner Brothers Circuit Management of New York. So this theater was a Warner house at that time.
Seems like the Function should be changed from ‘Unknown’ to ‘Office Space’.
The Strand in Newburyport is listed in the 1927 Film Daily Yearbook as having 800 seats and open 6 days/week.
The 1927 FDY also lists a Premier Th. in Newburyport with 900 seats, open 6 days/week.
