Uploaded an ad for the Benoit Theatres including the, then, Lily. Except for the Atwood’s, Ashland and Glasgo Hall all are on Cinema Treasures. It is presumed that those three venues were actually company recreational buildings at the textile mills since the historical society can find no references to them.

I have uploaded a photo of the Lilly sharing a building with the post office. According to the local historian this substantial building on Railroad Avenue underwent many changes before it was demolished in the 1950s only to be replace by a supermarket.

It can be assumed that the various seating expansion could easily have been accomplished on site. At some point it became the Plainfield.
