The State Theatre was built in 1937, designed by architect H.L. Beebe in Art Moderne style. The facade was faced with Vitrolite tiles, and the triangle-shaped marquee lit with neon and lightbulbs.
The single-screen State Theatre is today home to the Deposit Community Theatre and Performing Arts Center, and in addition to live presentations, still screens first-run movies.

Lost: Thanks so very very much for the Vitrolite site. Sure wish a hometown restaurant had kept that facade, but to this day the tile is gone and so is the restaurant! In the meantime, new owners have not been found and so the location is an eyesore for the residents of the old hometown where the Grand Theatre WAS located, too!
Patsy….I don’t know if this link was posted before but it has some history of the State Theater. It mentions that the Vitrolite was installed by the Syracuse Glass Company.
This is a nice 2009 photo.
Lost: Yes, that is a much better photo without the trash cans. Thanks.
Very nice looking theatre.
The photo from 2009 was taken before the sidewalk renovation last summer. The sidewalks in front of the theatre look really nice now. Also, if you still haven’t any photos from the interior, let me know, I’ll see if I can get some.
