Built in the late 1960’s, the Century 21 Theatre was a single screen, 1,065 seat movie theatre. It was a first run house through the 1970', 1980’s and early 1990’s.

In the late-1980’s it was renovated to be a genuine THX house an was often booked specifically for action and science fiction films because of it’s big screen and incredible sound system. It closed in the early-1990’s and is now a Soundtrack electronics store.

Hi movie theater buffs – my grandfather built the Century 21 Theater in the 1960’s, and the property is still in our family. We are planning a new shopping center on the site, and will be demolishing the theater building. I would love to hear from all of you about movies that were shown at the Century 21 or other interesting facts for our archives. Thanks!

I just found out that the first movie shown at the Century 21 was Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. The last movie with an intermission was Reds in about 1981. I look forward to hearing from all of you. Thanks.

Any pictures you can take of the Century 21 even while it is being demolished, both inside and out help document the building for future generations. Please feel free to post them on this site. Likewise any pictures you may have in your families archives of the building under construction or in operation are welcomed as well. Thanks..
