I do seem to recall the fifth theater was around that time frame of 1995, but the conversion to a multiplex was much earlier. I belive I was in late elementary school (early 80’s) when it became two screens, and the next two came along before I was in high school (before 1985). Then the fifth screen a few years later. I’d love to see pictures of the old theater before it was converted at all.
The Capitol theatre opened in 1940. The Conversion to a five-plex happened in 1995.

Here is a photo of the Capitol Theater in Montpelier.
I saw a 1938 photo of a Playhouse Theatre in Montpelier. Was that used for films at all?
Try this link http://fgbtheaters.com The comma on the end of the above link broke it.
It does have five screens, but it is still known as only the Capitol Theatre. There are three large screens and two small. Website for the theatre is http://fgbtheaters.com/, but it just lists show times, cost and movies for this and the Paramount in Barre. I’ll take a photo for when the ‘Add a Photo’ is back up.
