DavidZornig commented about Strand Theatre on Sep 7, 2020 at 4:48 pm

1969 photo added via wsasser, from the Norva Theatre CT page. (Hofheimer’s signage visible. Likely previous Strand marquee.)

Per JGKlein on the Norva Theatre page on August 19, 2017 at 10:47 am:

Across the street (from Norva Theatre) is “Hofheimer’s”, a shoe store at 325 Granby St. in Norfolk. This building was the location of the former Victoria Theatre, built in 1911 as a vaudeville/movie theatre. By 1916 it was renamed the Strand and operated as a full time movie theatre. As of 2017, the same building that was once the Victoria Theatre is still standing.

It appears to be about 40 miles West of Knoxville, and 80 miles North of Chattanooga.

It appears the address was likely 206 E. Main Street. It has since been demolished and the First National Bank next door to the right expanded onto it’s property and a neighboring building to the bank’s left. The 1946 photo shows only two columns on the bank, and today there are six via street view, which shows the same buildings to it’s left as in a 1930s photo in the book Warren County by Cody Prince & Krystal Tanner. Including a 6 window former J.C. Penney 3 doors to the left which is still standing. It was also open much earlier than the 1930s. As I’ve added an early 1900s photo of the same view as the 1946 photo.

Found references to the Rebel Theatre possibly moving from one location to another in this group. Once I can sort it out I’ll set up a page for it as they have a couple pics.
