The Roseway Theater is operated as an independent, family owned movie house. It opened in 1925 with seating for 600 including a small balcony. The seating was later reduced after a 1950’s remodeling. The Roseway Theater was closed for renovation in March 2008, reopening in May 2008.

Very nice looking marquee and building.
Looks like the “Roseway” was restored to the orighnal neon instead of the plastic one in other photos. Smooth reader board instead on the corrigated one. Nice to see the restorations. This was always a favorite theater of mine when I lived in Portland. They had a very wide screen that originally could handle the old scope 2.55:1.
The theater has 330 seats since its remodel.
It was a JESSE JONES THEATRE in 1956 owned by Jesse E.Jones in Portland.

The remodeled Roseway Theater projects digitally. It’s one of the better digital theaters – and a good choice for 3D movies, but there’s no chance of a film showing here.
