The Gem Theater has been closed since the early-1960’s. It was built as a dedicated silent movie theater. The Gem Theater building was incorporated with the neighboring building to the west, to become the new YMCA in 1966. The interior was heavily modified and the facade was covered with stylized concrete blocks. From the street, this appears as one building.

In the long lists of theater chains in the 1942-43 Motion Picture Almanac, the Gem and the Capitol in Willimantic are both listed under Warner Brothers Circuit Management of New York. However, the Gem is listed as “Closed” at that time.
