The Tower Theater opened on May 10, 1940 with a seating capacity for 600 patrons. This was a nice family theater in the Art Deco style. It was located at the corner of Watertown Avenue and West Main Street in Waterbury, Connecticut.
It was demolished in the late-1960’s to make way for new highway construction.

The address for the Tower Thearte is 54 Watertown Ave., Waterbury, Ct.
WAS, not IS. There is no spot for 54 Watertown Avenue anymore with Route 8 running right through where the neighborhood used to be.
Was or is the address for the listing of this theatre is still 54 Watertown Avenue, Waterbury, Ct.
My information says 56 Watertown Road, rather than Avenue. The Tower had Harrison Weisman as architect and first opened on May 10, 1940, with a reported seating capacity of 600.
There is no Watertown Road in Wtby. It was Watertown Avenue.
Roger why are you being such a stickler on the address. When you look on the other site that you do much posting to you give no history of the theatre you are posting, just the pictures. A history of the theatre presents so much more than just the pic.
A small drawing of the front of the Tower Theatre and a photo showing a glimpse of the dim auditorium from the standee area illustrate an ad for Spongex rug cushion on this page of Boxoffice, October 6, 1941.
