One family has owned this theater since the 1930’s and it is the only surviving theater in Grafton. It caught fire in 1945 and was rebuilt soon after. The balcony was transformed into a second screen in 1977.

1987 photo of the Strand Theatre. I believe that the Strand Theatre originally opened in 1915. I may be wrong though.
