This theater is obviously much older than its current facade suggests, but it’s hard to tell how old. The street level is now done in pink brick, and the upper story is red plaster with some unattractive beige sheet metal covering large squares on either side. Not sure what’s underneath. The marquee is a very nice burgundy with cream and the vertical has a colorful crown on top. Unfortunately, the vertical has no neon. The theater is only open for one or two days every week.

From Boxoffice magazine, May 1950:
STAMFORD, TEX-The Grand Theater here, recently purchased by H&H Theaters from Robert Brown of Abilene, has been closed for remodeling which is expected to be completed in about two months. The building will be lengthened 25 feet and converted into a stadium-type structure. Changes at the front of the house will include shifting of the box office and installation of a refreshment bar. Refinements in the auditorium will include new carpeting, indirect lighting and wall murals. A larger screen will be installed. Sandy Hodges is co-owner of the house.
The Grand Theater is listed in the 1955 Film Daily with 813 seats.
